Reminder that 1g per lb is a meme https://bayesianbodybuild

What's your prior on the Bernoulli probability that a /fit/izen knows what this means?

>i-it's a myth!!!

Is there something I'm missing here? I mean it might be a little less, like 0.85g per kg, but 1g/kg is still clearly a good target to shoot for.

The picture below summarizes the literature. As you can see, 1.8g/kg (0.82g/lb) is the point at which additional protein intake ceases to yield any benefits.

The x-axis on your graph is labelled g/kg not g/lb

If around 1.7g/kg is optimal for strength, as the graph suggests, then this is the same as:
1g for every 0.588 kg
1g for every 1.322 lbs
0.75g for every lb

So 1g/lb is really not a meme

So, basically, 1g per lb is still a good rule of thumb.

So 1g per 1lb of LBM is the same as 0.8 per 1lb roughly?

being off by 25% if a lot

So if I weigh 160lbs I can get away with 120-130?

Not "get away"

You can get optimal results according to virtually every study conducted on the subject

Of course it's a meme created by manufacturers of protein products- perpetuated by their sponsors (fitness celebrities and internet sites) with the intention to sell you more protein

the difference of 0.25g/lb is HUGE
Especially when we talk about people with heavier weight

are all these studies based off of total or lean body mass?

If you're getting all your protein from meat then you're probably good at 0.65g-0.75g/lbs of lean body mass, but whey or vegetable sources better going a little higher

Unless you're going to meticulously calculate everything you're eating, you're better of aiming for a bit more, since in the end you're going to approximate your daily intake.

is it per lean body weight and how do you find your lean body weight?

>Several IAAO studies have suggested ..a requirement of 1.2 grams per kilogram for sedentary adults and at least 2.2 grams per kilogram for bodybuilders.

>Even when dieting, eating 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight should be sufficient for most athletes unless they are working toward extreme leanness, like weight-category athletes and bodybuilders preparing for a show. Under these circumstances, there may be an advantage to eating more protein. One review of dieting athletes suggested that eating 2.3 to 3.1 grams of protein per kilogram of lean body mass was the most consistently protective intake range against losses of muscle mass, and this range was recommended for natural bodybuilding contest preparation.

Even serotonin and dopamine respond well to protein increases.
