Can I lift successfully without excessive protein consumption?

[Deleted member 13335]

I am allowed to eat not more than 1,5 g protein/kg of my body. Is it possible to gain muscle consuming this amount of protein?

 

[Deleted member 13335]

If you want more protein.

No I don't, I'm restricted because of the kidney condition

No I don't, I'm restricted because of the kidney condition

Get a double kidney transplant then.

Kidneys have a harder time with meat protein

whey and plant based should be fine

1,5g/kg of protein should be plenty enough

if you're not eating atleast 2g/kg you're not going to build any muscle.

Table 1​

Summary of protein recommendations for adults

Research study​	Recommendation for protein intake​	Type of study​
Lemon [1]​	1.6-1.7 g.kg-1​	Review of literature​
Lemon et al. [2]​	12-15% total energy intake​	Review of literature​
Kreider [3]​	1.6-1.8 g.kg-1​	Review of literature​
Phillips [4]​	12-15% total energy intake​	Review of literature​
Lemon [5]​	1.6-1.8 g.kg-1​	Review of literature​
Lemon [6]​	1.5-2.0 g.kg-1​	Review of literature​
Campbell et al. [7]​	1.5-2.0 g.kg-1​	Review of literature​

Notice how all of these researchers, even when targeting boomers recommend at LEAST 1.6 g/kg. In an actual bodybuilding context the numbers would be way higher, this is just protein intakes to maintain a healthy lifestyle among old ass people. <1.5 = malnutrition.
