Does the protein to body weight ratio make sense when you're a fatty? 2017-09-12 08:50:27 Post No. 42838278

260 lbs @ 6'1 - 6'2
Been working out 2 months. Was skinny fat. Weak fat. Overall in my lifts I'm about 30% stronger than what I was. I want to cut fat. I go on to read the ratio of grams of protein to body weight.
I'd have to get 260g of protein / day which seems way over the top. Am I nuts? I'd have to eat 1.5 lbs of lean meat every day. That seems like a lot. Of course not just meat, some of the protein would come from vegetables, grains, and dairy.
It just seems like a lot. Anyone go through this?

Of course that's way too much. The protein ratio is based on lean body weight not total body weight.
Also the fitness industry exaggerates the amount of protein you need. The popular myth is 1g / 1lb of body weight, but it's more like 0.5g / 1lb of body weight. And even then it's lean body weight.
