Just To Verify...

Protien intake (grams) should be about what when trying to put on muscle? I hear about 1.5/lb of BW, and about 1/lb of BW to maintain the majority of muscle. Just wanted to verify.

There are many schools of thought on this subject. I have heard of anywhere from 0.7 to 3 grams per pound of body weight. I personally think that for most people between 1 and 1.5 is just fine. This has worked for me, although I have never tried going above this so I can't really say if it would work better.

I try to hit 2x bodyweight... that's just me... but right now, that's 480g's of protein a day... YIKES!

i get about .8-1 g/per pound of bodyweight. i wish i could get more but its hard to get that much food once you're well over 200 lbs

For me I aim for 2 grams/pound a day... Which would be 470...But I usually just go ahead and get 500

I just eat as much as possible. Right now...it aint a lot...lol. I am being happy with my diet right now and trying to be a little healthier than usual. As Boston nears...the feast will begin.
