what are you basing that on?

all actual science (done at universities etc) that i've looked into says that there's no extra benefits of eating above 1.2g/kg or 0.6/lb

I'm basing this on every fitness / strength / bodybuilding coach on the planet . You know the ones who have played with their diets to see what works the best and 1-1.5 grams of protein is the general consensus

and people believed earth was flat for so long because everyone told them it was, whats your point?

heres an example saying that calories>protein when you're supposed to gain lean weight (to give some light on why 1500 calories is shit)


same article also shows that protein intake above 1.7g/lean kg simply oxidates


http://jap.physiology.org/content/64/1/187

indicates that 1.0x g protein/kg is enough for ELITE bodybuilders to maintain their muscle mass

YEAH I WANNA BE ELITE SO I DO WHAT THEY DO YEAH

i see so much people at my gym and people around me being a victim of the massive circlejerk that is bro science

people need to eat like japanese do

youve already embarrassed yourself once today, lets try to not make it twice

lol
1. Nothing I could do on this site will ever embarrass me
2. Don't even know what you're referring to
3. lol, who are you again

Except I personally gain/maintain muscle on 1g/ lb . I lose it quite quickly on my much less

its a lot more than protein

how many calories do you eat when you eat less than 1g/lb?

calories>protein for muscles, as the links i provided states

hitting a plateau and then eating more protein and getting past it doesnt mean its better, science says that excessive protein intake oxidates, but yeah, i guess you're unique

we got a saying in swedish that would literally translate to that the exception validates the rule - there's probably an english version of it - and you might be that one, i don't oppose it, just saiyng that the protein intake you say that you should have is, according to science, bullshit

99% of broscience is placebo
