>>74779089show me your asshole
>>74779109anon :O
bump
1g per pound? goddamn lol hyol shit
>>74779089No, it's broscience meant to sell protein powders.
Apparently you are good with 0.6-.75 g per lb. Anecdotally, that’s how much I eat and I mog my friend who eats like 2 g per lb. He doesn’t even look like he lifts. He also lifts heavier than mr
A gram of protein per kilogram of bodyweight is better
>>74779089Not NECESSARY, but optimal for gains.I made gains on about .7g/lb. for some years when I was vegetarian, but I was also eating 4000-5000 cal./day, so I was eating fucktons just to get any gains.Not gonna work eating close to maintenance for gains if you keep protein low.
>>74779089I thought it was a gram of cocaine per pound of body weight? Did I just make a big mistake.
>>74779089Pound of protein per gram of body weight.
You need around 3g of protein per lb of bodyweight
>>74780651>eating 85grams of protein per day
ITT: anons pulling numbers out of their hemorrhoiding assesyou need (Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 5) * 0.1 grams of protein per lb or else your mother will die in the hospital after getting hit by a car and being in a coma for three days while reliving her most painful memories especially those involving you
>>74780651>>74779583What are you supposed to eat for the calories then?
>>74781474Just regular food. If you hit 1g/lb on your regular food that's fine too.
>>74781499I hit 1g/kg with 700 calories, what do I eat for the rest 1500?
>>74781531poop
>>74781531Masa and beans
>>74781572See the issue with grains is that they're shit today. Masa flour isn't niscomel, it's additives and industrial bleaches. Bread as well isn't whole wheat flour, it's bleached sawdust powder with 15 different chemicals
>>74781531Eat real food.
>>74781593The biggest/cheapest brand is preservatives free.
>>74781936That's just eggs, milk, chicken and beef
>>74779089I always thought gram per pound was bullshit. No one is working that hard to even need all that protein
>>74779089If you're cutting.
>>74779583Studies show past 0.71g/lb of lean mass you dont really get any real returns, however a lot of sources say to aim for around 0.8-0.85g/lb to be on the safe side and account for any potentially labeling/tracking errors which is perfectly reasonable.
