bro’s who lift protein consumption

how much you consume a day? 1g per lb bodyweight? I still remember the days of companies saying 1.5g per body weight. I’m currently consuming 200g a day at 6’1 250ish and I think it might be over kill.

I've made good progress keeping it around 1g per pound of lean mass. I don't really count my protein anymore but try to eat a couple pounds of red meat a day. Still getting bigger and getting stronger.

protein consumption is borderline a psyop
focus on nutritious calories and you'll soon realize the breakdown of macros means almost nothing

220-230 grams/day at my bodyweight.
6'5" 210 lbs, 10.9% body fat

Disagree with me, fine; but before calling me a fraudster click: https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showthread.php?t=185252663

Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable unto all things.

1 g / lb of lean bodyweight is probably reasonable UPPER bound... you're not going to deflate if you get less.

Idk about that. I can tell by performance if I'm really depleted on glycogen and never seen a healthy looking vegan. But yeah, as long as you are eating clean I don't think it's completely necessary to obsess about it unless you are entering a bodybuilding show or something.

I aim for at least 200g protein, sometimes more, sometimes less. My key is to eat a lot at dinner, usually 80g+ of protein.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

1gr per LEAN body weight, not total body weight.
I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

I try to consume 1g per bodyweight at the least every day. IMHO protein content is most important when cutting, as it helps preserve muscle and helps control hunger. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

I also aim for about 200g a day. I tried the whole "you don't need that much protein lolol" thing and found I build more muscle when I eat more
