How much protein per day....

[hassinba]

People say to intake 1.5-2 grams per pound of LEAN BODY MASS. Am I thinking too deep into this? I weigh 200, with about 12%bf does that mean i take in 400 grams or calculate my lean body mass and go from there?

The total is based on LBM, so calculate THAT, then figure your protein 1.5g to 2g of protein per day.

Nice, I knew it couldn't be THAT hard to get enough protein. I have no problem but i was just constantly shoving chicken and tuna down my throat....i was taking in at least 400 grams a day.

In AUS, kangaroo is $6-7 per kilo, so a high protein diet is fairly cheap, although I'm only 150 lbs, and consume about 250 grams of P
