protein when cutting

[Fireblade1x]

16m cutting, i can only get 1g of protein per kg of weight in a day (around 27% bodyfat), i train hard (UL 3x week) and get decent sleep, will i be able to cut while maintaining my muscle or is it over

no you will severely lose size, 2.2g per kg is minimum and on a cut personally my intake was 2.4g per kg and i didnt lose any size and dropped 10kg

so is cutting not worth it at all

cutting is 100% worth it, but you have to find a way to increase your protein consumption, currently in your case it isnt worth it if u lack sufficient protein

1.55g /kg is the "minimum" (you dont even need more than that for ideal muscle growth)

2.2-2.4g/kg range is what most lifters use on a cut as it would preserve muscle fullness, strength, lean mass and it gives a bigger buffer , if OP cant hit this then ig he could atleast try and get to the 1.55g/kg which will just about maintain size just not as forgiving if training or sleep isnt perfect

ur young so u prob would gain muscle too, prioritize bulking if u want mass, cutting if u want too not look like a fucking pig
