Ideal my ass, you don't need this much protein jfl. look at the studies online, you only need .7-1g for maximum benefits

Been researching since I'm cutting. If you're bulking, .7-1.0 grams per pound of bodyweight is fine. If you're cutting, you'll use a sliding scale of 1.2-1.6 grams per lb of Lean Body Mass, depending on how much fat you have(If you're higher bodyfat, you'll do 1.2 grams per lb of LBM).

Notice that I said LBM for cutting, and just regular bodyweight when bulking.

I used to take whey protein 3 scoops a day while gymcelling and noticed no benefits compared to not taking it. I also barely eat any protein through the day since my diet is made mostly of pasta, potatoes, little bit of dairy (milk, yoghurt), bread, bananas, salad, green and black teas. I managed to develop decent physique but struggle with leg size.

How much protein do you need a day?

Not really important tbh, it was just pushed by the supplmemt industry to sell their shit to low IQ people.

A balanced homemade made meal with quality ingredients is the key.

Also optimizing hormones i.e. no insulin resistance, low cortisol, high tesosterone.

A ton. Protein intake more or less = size when bodybuilding especially for beginners.

Calories in calories out is also important

Most researchers agree that high protein foods help at building muscles. Do you think they're all wrong? Is there any research that shows that protein doesn't help at building muscles?

Most research is funded by fitness industry to push whatever agenda they want.

There used to be research that fat made you fat ect when they pushed low fat diet.

Also also this shitty research making green tea look like some miracle herb ect.

Elephants, rhinos, gorillas ect dont touch any meat related products but muscle mog me to oblivion.

That's for bulking.


He cites the papers he references in the video.

Must have not really read my first comment since I say .7-1.0 in the previous one.

 

[Chinacurry]

2g is a lot

U can prob get away with 1.8g per kg of LEAN bodyweight, or even 1.6g if u r total noob.

When u factor that in it is not THAT much, for example it means a chubby 200lb guy only needs around 140g of protein, so eat 2 normie meals, SLIGHTLY more protein heavy than a normie, and take 3 scoops of isolate and you easily get there everyday.

I've been doing it for 3m now to lose weight, it started out hard, but gets easier

how are you guys finding the protein diets? better muscle building? any other effects (good or bad)?

I find building muscle pretty easy if I eat high protein, take creatine, and don't eat crap, and I'm pretty old too!

As for cutting, I keep it clean 5 days a week, do light cardio (hiking) 4x a week, and medium intensity weights 3x a week, while keeping the protein high, and I've lost 4kg in 2 months, without any real muscle loss. Bear in mind I know if I didn't let it fall away the other 2 days a week I'm sure it would be more weightless, BUT I genuinely feel those 2 'refeed' days a week not only keep me sane, they also help me not lose muscle, can't explain the science but putting those carbs in me seems to help

Protein is improtant, but I started gaining muscle mass only after I began also eating a lot of carbonhydrates. If you can't gain muscle with protein, then you need to eat more carbs

 

[MassacredMyBoy]

The weightlifting is having the biggest life effects, the protein is just supplementary. I've been bulking for about 7 months, finally got up to 22% bodyfat and decided to cut. The only difference now is I'm increasing my protein intake by a little, and really dialing in my diet, counting calories.

1.5 till 1.7 per kg bodyweight
