Interesting stuff. I used to do the 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight too. But I read a couple studies posted in the NIH that by the end actually showed that for most individuals that regularly perform moderate to intense physical activities can benefit just from between 1 gram of protein per 1 to 2 kg of body weight. Which is a lot less than what a lot of gym goers think. Of course doing 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight isn’t going to hurt any thing . But there generally does not appear to be any actual gains in performance or appearance in individuals when comparing the results from both. And it has been working for me just as well too. So more money in your pocket. Also if you are looking for some cheap good sources of protein check out Lentils! 100 grams of protein in a 1 pound bag for like a buck
@@nicholaslandolt8912 Protein is one of those recommendations that changes constantly! The technical recommendation is about 0.8-1g/kg of body weight - which some say is more of a “minimum number” than a recommended intake number. But I think it really depends on activity level and goals. Usually I like to throw out a few options - and the one that feels the most reasonable and sustainable is best! And then if that number helps you with muscle building- amazing! If it doesn’t, you can always raise it from there. What do they say - you can’t change a habit that isn’t already established? So you might as well start small and build! Appreciate you sharing your experience and what works for you! You’re absolutely right - you don’t have to waste a ton of money to get excessive amounts of protein! Moderate is usually just enough!

Personally for me… protein and timing my snacks (particularly when I have a busy day) can be a struggle 👀
