    Default One gram per pound

    Eating enough protein is difficult. There’s no way I could do it without drinking about half of it.

    No kidding. I just finished a bowl full of meatballs in a stroganoff cream sauce and almost didn’t want to finish it.

    You obviously didn’t cook those ribeyes…they look entirely too perfect to be your work

    “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

    Training. That’s funny.

    I go to the gym because I don’t want to decay. I saw a clip of some guy named Wilkins or something like that. Navy seal guy. Dude asks him “what’s should guys “our age” focus on to stay fit and healthy.” The response was clean up your diet, go to the gym, and stop drinking. He said that every day you’re not working, you’re going backwards. Okay. Maybe, maybe not. Figure it out for yourself. But it made perfect sense to me and based on personal experience, this works. And since I’m doing the work anyway, I want the muscle that can come along with it.

    Fish - Would you mind sharing how much you weigh, as I was surprised by the comment of having to drink nearly half of your protein. I’m usually around 205-210 and feel like getting enough protein through food is not difficult.

    200 grams = 7 ounces. So a 200lb guy would need 7 oz of protein? Is that per meal or per day?

    No sir.

    One weighed ounce of raw meat will vary between 6-9'ish grams of protein depending on the source.

    See below for chicken as an example...

    Sorry. Mashed send before I was finished typing.

    Also it is recommended that we get 0.75-1 gram of protein per LEAN pound of body weight. Not total body weight.

    Most people are trucking between 30-40% body fat so their lean muscle mass will be roughly 40'ish% of that total weight.

    My pleasure.

    Tooth will be along shortly to tell you his brother recommends a butter bean and kale veggie wrap and 25 grams of protein/day and 800 grams of carbs and no fat.

    the math is complicated enough...but the real hard part is to decide who to believe.

    ok
    to the OP
    eating the RIGHT protein is difficult. not one single gram needs to come from milk destined for another mammal. dont you see how crazy that is? drinking milk from a cow? i know we've made it as normal as drinking cow blood in the serengeti, but its weird. plenty of places to get protein from that aint milk or meat.

    look up other "diets" that make you uncomfortable instead of perusing the internet until you find one you like.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
