We need more protein than we think

[autistic_tendencies]

When you start tracking your calories you’ll find out one medium piece of steak is like 70g of protein
If you hunted and ate whole animals nose to tail in primitive times you could get up 200g of protein daily pretty easily
Protein is amino acids and amino acids are the building blocks of the body

ray peat says 70g a day is enough

You only "need" about 0.8g per kg of body weight, but there are clear benefits to eating up to 1.6g per kg, and it probably goes beyond 1.6 but strong diminishing returns after that

lol i eat 224g of protien a day (7 litres raw milk jfl)

 

[human304]

0.8 g /Kg body weight to maintain current size
1.0 g /Kg body weight in case of repair (sick,injury,infection)
1.2 g /Kg body weight for growth (babies, children, casual exercisers)
1.5 g /Kg body weight for body builders
1.8 g/Kg body weight for monsters


Also in hunt days hunter gatherers even consumed 500g and more grams of protein. however they often had to grow through long periods of fasting before they could find the next meal and also they had more injury and infection than average joe in 2024 , so their protein intake was needed to be higher.
