Why? Eat as much protein as ud like in your backload. Jst know its not necessary to go much higher than 1g per lb of bw

Protein in grams should be at least target weight not current weight. Shoot for 160+

Could you explain?I don't believe in that at all.  I heard that it's not even necessary to have 1 gram per pound of BW.  Even 1g per KG of BW will do as well.

You want to grow right? Makes sense to have more rather than less of the building blocks required. Of course it depends on who you talk to as to how much protein is necessary. Kiefers 1-1.3g per pound is pretty safe, effective and moderate. You could in theory get away with less protein IF your total calories, carbs and fats are high enough to make up for it. But in that scenario youd run the risk of more unnecessary fat gain IMO.A small risk but one worth considering.Split your backload meals up however you want. 80 ULC an 80 in your backload would give you that 160 I mentioned and be just as easy to accomplish.

you do not need much protein to grow muscle.. eating more protein itself will not make you grow faster or anything..

Beyond a certain point yes. But what is that point? How would you know if you need less or more based on your own physiology? Play it safe and get at least 1g per pound.

i'd argue 1g per bodyweight is max you would need.. muscle building is a very slow process unless on anabolics.. forcing a ton of protein isn't going to "move things along" any faster..

Id also argue that 1g per pound of body weight is nothing close to being a ton of protein. Having done upwards of 1.5-2g per pound before 1g is a cake walk that anyone serious about muscle and strength should be able to manage by natural appetite alone.

i did 2.5g to 3g per lb for years in my twenties because that's what all the supplement companies and all the silly articles claimed.. it did one thing well.. helped me get way to many calories and put on a good amount of fat

I agree. I was my fattest on the anabolic diet. But I also abused the hell out of protein shakes and bad fats to get my protein and calories up. I also thought because I was allowed upto 30g of carb in a day that it was alright to have a quad-stacker burger from burgerking for my afternoon snack.1g per pound makes no one fat.

i agree 1g per lb of bodyweight is just fine
