WE ARE ENDING THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Is it 1 gram of protein per KILOGRAM or per POUND?
Or is it something different?

1 gram per pond seems superfluous. I doubt it is as simple as being x per y, or that it actually matters that much
Per pound. You can do anywhere between 0.82 - 1.5 g of protein per pound in your body.
1.8 grams per kilogram of lean body weight
about 1.7g per kilogram is enough for anyone who's natty, bulk or cut.
And that's the highest number out of all peer-reviewed studies I could find.
Lots of studies found that 1.3 is enough, or even 1 when you're bulking.
1.5g per lean body mass pound

Your TDEE * 0.06 / 4 = your protein requirement in grams.
All of these responses are somewhat different. Most we resort to sources?

1 per kg for natty
1 (or more) per pound for frauds

Here's a breddy gud overview with LOTS of sauce:

Max protein synthesis occurs between 1.7-2.4 g per kg of BW (for people doing weight training).
2.2 or 1g per lb is used because its easy.

If you are natty, you won't miss out on anything when eating 1-1.5 g/kg. 1 g/lb (or 2.2 g/kg) is over the top and probably won't get you measurable benefits other than calming your gain paranoia.

>45 g protein
Cool formula bro

Switch out 0.06 for 0.09 if you're bulking.
>mixing units of measure
1 gram per pound of lean mass, i.e. you don't count body fat.
So a 200 pound dude with 20 percent body fat would want 160 grams.
