100-130g depending on what I eat


Even when I was 220lbs it made no difference if I ate more protein than that; gains came on the same

personally I do low carb, too much muscle and too much output with how I lift to not have some carbs, but I usually go down to 150 in prep at the lowest.
My body does not like fats anything over 100 daily and I gain a good amount of bodyfat.

But I also dont need many carbs to grow, I carb cycle week days low carb, weekends high carb, unless I have a leg day mid week then its automatically a high carb day too. Weekends are just for replenishing glycogen more fully and added recovery and better insulin sensitivity since weekends are less stressful. Plus after 5 years of strict eating I got tired of eating chicken and rice all weekend.

I don't really keep track, but on average - probably quite a bit less than the Broscientists recommend.

Yeah, I really think people really exaggerate the amount needed.

A lot less than all the web sites, magazines (I'm that old), etc. say I "need to". Guess what, I'm fine.
