Some of the guys over in the Think Tank are tossing around the idea of how much protein should one eat.
I’ve heard TC mention before that “something magical happens at 300g per day”.
I have kept my protein intake over 300 g daily, usually 300 to 350 for about 5 months. During that time I have had a significant rise in strength.
So how much protein do you eat?
I eat about 2 g/lb of BW. I’d say if I ate 1-1.5 g/lb I would still have no problem putting on LBM. But since I have such a BIG appetite and 2 g/lb isn’t putting on fat, I go w/ the higher #.

I’ve gone with about 1.5g/p/bw for years now. If I go any higher I end up using too much pro pow. Any lower and I just dont feel like I’m being a good bodybuilder!
during intense weighttraining, 1.2 grams per pound (at least)
during moderate intensity weight training, .9 grams per pound (at least)
get at least those amounts, then knock yourself out with some more if you feel like it, can’t hurt too much.
Anyone take in as much as 2 or 3 g of protein per lb of body weight?
Skinny bastards?
Those being ‘assisted’?
