How accurate it is? Pic related is pretty much exactly my body rn and I can't recall a day where I ate more than 100 grams of proteins, on average probably around 70. A fish, maybe a steak, some eggs, some 40 grams of whey, some oats, some quark. Still far away from 150. My body isn't huge but I'm happy with it and it's getting bigger.
Is it bullshit that you need more than 100 if you want to get big? Or do most people just have shit tier pleb genes so they need that much?
>pretty much exactly my body rn post a pic of your body then
Luis Ross
If I wanted to I would have.
So you'r eimplying it's necessary to eat 100+ grams of proteins every day to get a body like that?
Cameron Walker
Really depends on weight, body type, metabolism, genetics, etc. The whole "one gram of protein for every pound of body weight" is a decent guideline in that it's more protein than anyone really needs, but it's still possible to gain muscle with less protein. Just might take a little longer
Jason Anderson
You literally don't need more protein than 0.82 per KG of bodyweight, as it does not give any benefits

>The whole "one gram of protein for every pound of body weight" is a decent guideline in that it's more protein than anyone really needs, Yes, great guideline in retards to how to waste the most money and food.
Not only is it plain wrong (0.80 makes a lot more sense), it of course also ignores body fat.

I've met top-of-the-line dieteticians and they all told me that "1g of protein for 1lb of lean mass is a hack perpetrated by whey companies who want to sell more". You should hit 0.8g of protein per kg of lean mass which is A LOT less. Jow Forums will argue about that all the time though.
Nathan Cox
You might need that much if you're roided up and training for Olympia. If you're just a normal cunt working out then you don't need anywhere near it.
But Jow Forums is autistic and they figure if Ronnie Coleman eats 18 chicken breasts per day, they should too.
Isaac Thompson
I think I'm far from even hitting that and I have very big arms people comment on every day.
Sounds like you guys simply get Jewed good.
Asher Perez
Pretty much this. Probably also shonen anime faggotry adding into it somewhere.
I'm 6'8" and weight 255lb. By Jow Forums's rules I should eat around 250g of prots (or so they say). If you turn this to 0.8g of prots per kg I need about 100g a day MAX. I don't need supplements at all to reach that, at all.
Oliver Reed
fuck I want a woman
Robert Wilson
With a lean mass calculator, says I would need about 50g of prots daily, even. Makes perfect sense, I don't need to be autistic about macros and I ain't.
Michael Turner
>0.8 per kg of lean mass
That's retarded. That's like 60-80 grams total protein per day. No actual group worth mentioning recommends this.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 1.2 to 1.7 grams per kg of body weight for strength athletes. The American Dietitic Association recommends 1.3 to 1.8 g/kg.
The 0.8 g/kg is the RDA for protein. AKA, the minimum amount needed for basic nutritional health in the average man. It is NOT the recommended amount for strength athletes.
The anti-protein circlejerk is twice as retarded as the pro-protein circlejerk ever was.
For most fit, adult men, this falls right in line with the upper end of the recommendations from the ACSM and ADA mentioned here: It's not "0.8 g per kg" or "0.8 g per kg of lean mass". It's 0.8 g/lb. AKA, about 1.7 grams per kg.
Idk how you tards can fuck up units so bad.
Adrian Perry
How do you fucking retards not get enough proton? I eat like 230 grams a day with just normal foods like chicken, oats, and greek yogurt. What the fuck are you eating?
Nolan Rogers
>ITT: ex obese sugar/carb junkies trying to justify eating 60g of protein per day Go on with your cope delusions
Ryder Morales
what are your other macros though.
Jackson Long
It is a meme but high protein is good when you're cutting to prevent muscle loss
During maintenance or bulk, you need MAX 100g
Carbs are much more important for actually making gains
Noah Harris
>230g >lost virginity
choose one
imagine eating 5lbs of chicken daily because you believe fitness magazines
Caleb Bell
Actually 120 grams is pretty close to ideal for everyone unless you're on gear. There's some extremely diminishing returns past that for nattys.
Matthew Green
depends if you want to hit your natural limit in 2 years vs 10 years
you don't ""need"" much, but you're going to be that guy at the gym for 5 years and looking the same. You'll eventually get your limit, but it'll take years longer

Jayden Price
>If you turn this to 0.8g I need about 100g day MAX What? How can you be that bad at math?
250*1 is 250, sure. But 250*0.80 is still 200, not 100. It's only a ~20% difference.
You still need a fuckton of grams if you adhere to Jow Forums's guide.Twice of what you believe you need "MAX".
If you're fat you only need .65-.7 grams of protein per goal body weight. As you obviously need to cut. As you get closer to goal body weight It does need to raise a little bit, but not by much. So at 190lbs sub 15% body fat you'd need around 130-140 g.protein. If your goal body is below 190lbs and you eat 150 g.protein or more odds are you have an extremely high body fat.
Josiah Mitchell
Two chicken legs (15 grams), a cup of oats (10 grams) and your nigger yogurt would maybe put you at 50 and not more. Where are you getting your 230 from is the question.
And I'm not even saying that you need more than 100. Unless you want to look like prime Schwarzenegger which I doubt most people here want or do.
Christian Gonzalez
Ive concluded .8 grams per 1lb of lean body mass isnsufficient. I always try to error on the side of too much protein tho, as meat is awesome.
Grayson Garcia
What do we consider gear?
Isaiah Richardson
Anything harder than tesrostrone. 2018 testostrone is still natty

Samuel Bennett
You only really need 0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight, OP, not some static number like "150 grams".
Owen Gutierrez
Here's the thing. Sometimes people dramatically overestimate their level of physical development. I wish I had the screen shot of the thread where some guy claimed to have the same body as some elite body builder, finally posted his own body, and he was nowhere near as cut or built as he claimed.

How my macros looking? Planning to eat the same shit every day since I'm not a gluttonous pig and don't care about enjoying food that much.
Hitting all my vitamin and mineral goals, and took care not to overdo anything.
how do you barely get 70 grams of protein if youre supplementing 40 grams of protein daily? do you actually count your macros or are you guessing? even if you did look like that pic (since you aren't posting a body pic you probably don't), you would be getting more protein than that
Luke Turner
I shoot for between 130 and 100 and call it a day.
Angel Morales
Personally I would slightly drop protein for more carbs, I always feel like I have more energy in the gym when my carbs are high. you're pretty much golden though.
Jonathan Phillips
how good is that app?
David Hill
This. Go watch what the health.
Chase Smith
1 gram per pound is good if you want to stay lean and not lose your muscle mass. If you're anything like that pic, you need 150g at least at average height.
Jayden Hughes
110-150 is what I aim for. I weight 175
Hudson Mitchell
No because you don’t need to be so autistic about it.
Using height is a perfect measure because smaller guys hold less muscle, much less, and taller guys have much more muscle growth potential.
A 5% bodyfat guy at 5’7 will be 160lbs MAX. And that’s someone with amazing genetics. That puts them at 152lbs fat free mass. That’s an elite phisque for someone at that height and bodyfat, most people at 5’7 5% bodyfat naturally will be 144-154 range. Take away weight from water, bones and organs, you’re left with only really needing somewhere around 110-130g of protein, which why is Recommend a range of 100-150 for manlets like this.
Now a guy at 6’0 is going a 5% bodyfat natural elite cap at like 185lbs. Take into account bones,water etc. Hence why I do 150-200 range for him.
Its mostly just propaganda by Big Protein(TM) to get you to pay for more overpriced whey bullshit
Adrian Robinson
you didn't convert pounds to kilograms, idiot. literally what this guy said 9 posts before you lol
Tyler Reyes
Maybe and only maybe if you have utter fucking shit genes, otherwise you don't need that much just to sustain your muscles at manlet height.
Anthony Powell
Why are you so gay and looking for every excuse you can get to see another guy's body? Holy shit, this thread is merely about the 1g/1lb meme and you can't stop sucking OP's cock in hope he looks like in the picture. Or in hope he doesn't because you're insecure.
It wouldn't even prove anything if he did look like in the picture. There are outliers.
Luke Jackson
Eating too much protein is gonna fuck you up later in life.
Ayden Edwards

Grayson Myers
>merely pretending to be gay lol :D, oh and you are OP haha
you're at a higher body fat now than the guy in the op pic, so there's no way you were nearly that size unless you were a bloated piece of lard. Stop being delusional, twink
Robert Foster
so my tdee is 2500 calories, if i want to bulk i eat 80g of protein, 100g of fat and 400g of carbs? lol that seems a little unbalanced
