The sticky says that for protein it's

>bulk is 1g per lb

>cut is 1.5g per lb

>maint is 1.25g per lb

Is this actually backed by anything? 1g is doable but something like 1.5g per lb seems impossible, not to mention incredibly expensive.

If you go to the gym 3x a week for 3 years you need those stats. Everything else just have a balanced diet and if you're not sure have a scoop of whey a day.



It's a fucking supplement

Well it's actually x amount of protein per pound of lean body mass, so subtract however much you have as body fat (a 200lb person @ 20% bf would need 160 for example). Also, some say 0.6-0.8g per lb of lbm is ideal for gains, but 1g just seals the deal especially with how inaccurate people can be in their calculations. You definitely do need plenty of protein on a cut just to maintain as much muscle mass as possible

imagine nagatoro trying to surprise you in the locker room and embarrass you, and you just completely turn the tables and rape her right there making her cum over and over while you fill her repeatedly with your seed, just completely owning her pussy forever and mind breaking her into your slave

the sticky is outdated garbage

You only need 0.7g of protein PER LEAN BODY MASS

You can up it to 1g of protein PER LEAN BODY MASS

When you say need, do you mean in order to get the maximum amount of gains you could possibly get or in order to get any gains at all?

NTA, but dude you will still make gains even if you get .2g of protein per pound. These are just optimal numbers. It also varies if you're overweight as you already have done fat reserves to convert to muscle

By need i mean minimum

at least 0.7g

max 1.2g

For example lets say someone is 160lbs 15% bodyfat. That means their lean body mass is 136. So they need at least 95g of protein.

Everyone overestimates how much protein they really need, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat more than you need. 

The fitness industry wants to sell protein powder so now everyone thinks they need 200g of protein.

Then your numbers are just wrong. Even with half of your “minimum” you’ll still make gains but just a bit slower.

you can pretty much just eat 1g/lb protein and change your fats/mainly carbs to meet your calorie requirements

1g/lb protein is probably overkill in reality, according to new research (trust the science, goy)

>>70772924 (OP)

Like the other anon said, measure by lean body mass instead. His 0.7g suggestion is retarded though and people saying to go even lower are b8ing. 1g/pound of LBM is what you should aim for and going a little higher is fine. This is the amount of protein that will give you the best results and is much more doable than 1.5g/pound of bodyweight on both your gut and wallet

Lmao eating 40g of protein is like shooting yourself in the foot.

Yeah; you can still walk around, but why cripple yourself?

>>70772924 (OP)

You retarded fucking nagatoro spics need to die.

>a 200lb man losing weight is to eat 300g protein a day

no one has ever done this
