Ahem. Adorable. If you read further from where you quoted me from; I also said «some may need 2g per kg».

You’re argueing that while being on a deficit, there’s an inherent need for more protein. That’s wrong. You could make the argument that hitting the protein-goal is (perhaps) more important while on a deficit. But saying that the need is higher by default? BS.

On the phone, so keeping this short. Will read your links later.

To be fair, unless you can make absolutely sure that you're taking all vitamins and other chemicals responsible for processing proteins efficiently, it's a lot simpler to overdo it a little bit on the protein and process as much as your body can.

Think of it like the creatine saturation period.

This is not to say that you NEED more protein on a deficit or on a bulk, I'm just saying if you take a little too much, you're at least always sure you'll get the maximum amount your body can process.
