You always hear it but shouldn't it be 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of actual lean mass? I got shitty scans done and my SMM is 35.4kg and fat-free mass is 63.4kg>inb4 dyel kysYeah, I know.
>>77234090because the science showed no benefit beyond 0.4g/kg which roughly translates to 1g/lb.
>>77234133>0.4 * 75 kg = 30g>1 * 165 lbs = 165gWat
so 70 to 100 total protein grams for adult male - gotacha
for me its 160 grams of protein per daythe best amount
>>77234141* = /
>>77234090It comes from what works. Whats next? Where does the working out to get strong cope come from?
>Where does the 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight cope comes from? It comes from roidtrannies.As a natty, you need 80-120g of protein a day tops (depending on height).
>>77234416>>77235038Shoo shoo gains goblins!
>>772340901g per lb isn't a bad target if you're not qualifying the quality of protein or whether someone is at a surplus or not.If you're at least eating maintence and lets say at least 75% of your protein is high quality complete sources yeah 1g per lb of leanmass is also fine.It's a matter of context.
>>77234090Lyle McDonald put up a long video about this, I think it was like half an hour or something.Research was done on diminishing returns for muscle gain based on protein intake, and they found that the point of diminishing returns was something like 0.8 g/lb of daily intake. Most people don't hit their target every day, math is hard for idiots, and more doesn't hurt unless you're eating so much that it limits your carbohydrate or fat intake, so they rounded up to 1 g/lb for the recommendation.McDonald made the valid point that all of this research and all of the recommendations are based on total bodyweight, when they should be based on lean body mass instead. I think he adjusted it and ended up around 0.9 g/lb lean mass (again, easier to just round up).If I remember right, the current RDA in the US (0.8 g/kg, roughly 0.36 g/lb) is based on an old army study on protein deprivation, so you can treat it as a bare minimum and the 1 g/lb as a daily target, assuming you're not fat.None of this accounts for the use of anabolics, which may either increase or decrease requirements. We don't know, because we can't ethically do the research. Bodybuilders aim for more to be on the safe side.
I'm convinced it comes from supplement companies who fund studies.
just tell me how much per kg pls i am a simple man
>>77235038That's still alot, I've always struggled to meet more than 75-80g. Today I ate two meals and a muffin and that was 65-70g of protein. This isn't unusual for me, and I have 16.5" arms, 18" calves and 43" chest at 93kg and 175cm/5'9".
>>77234090it comes from retards mishearing 1 gram per lean bodymass yeah
>>77234090There are no benefits beyond 0.8g/lb of lean body massEverything worded beyond that is speculation because the studies are funded by either cattle producers or supplement companies
>>77234090It comes from supplement companies needing monetaey gain.
