why the fuck wouldn't you use more fats in your meals. it should still be at least 50/25/25 you faggots.
>>37520502
i like 1g protein/1g bw
>>37520502
You can get away with even lower protein buddy
>>37520502
1g/lbs has nothing to do with NEED. it's what you eat when you want to be sure you're getting all the protein you can possibly utilize and then some.
you dont need 240 grams of protein unless you're fucking jacked at 240 you fatty

Its 1g for every pound of LEAN MUSCLE MASS.
Why would your fat need protein? it doesn't. I weigh 210 so if I get at least 180-190 then I'm good.

OP, find out what mass of fat you have. Subtract that from weight (this is your LMM), take in that many grams of proteins a day

>do i really need 240g of protein
no you fucking moron

>weigh 80kg

>need 80.000 grams of protein daily

I dunno. I eat chicken, rice, broccoli, oranges and pizza.
>>37521835
ah yes im retarded
i meant kg
0.8 grams of protein per 1 lbs bodyweight
80 kg / 0.450 = ~ 178 lbs
178 * 0.8 = 142.4 grams of protein per day.

we all make mistakes
>>37520502
fucking dumb ass faggot you don't count bodyfat into your protein needs
fucking niggers these days.
>>37520502
In this case, eat your goal weight in grams of protein.
>>37520502
no you fat piece of shit. it's 1g per lb of LEAN MASS. but then again that value is way over inflated. should be .8g/lean lb MAX. your fat ass can get by with 130g a day.
