- Do you really need 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight to build muscle?
While this is a good guideline that works well for most lifters and their goals, it’s not exactly a hard set number.

Yes, some of these studies were done in KG...but rest assured that we took the conversion to lbs into account in our explanation.
People from other countries like mine, Brazil, appreciate when you also put some of the measurements in Kg as well. Thanks mate o/
No: every grown man on Earth can build plenty of muscle eating between 100 and 150 grams of protein a day.
I totally agree 💯
It's per functional tissue which does not include the weight of fat as fat is a form of energy storage not functional tissue.
It's 1 of protein per pound of skeletal muscle not per pound of total weight.
I’m new to this, so how would I calculate how much skeletal weight I have?
Per pound of lean body weight not total body weight
Pleeease stop the clapping music
I just eat what my Coach outlines. Digestion and recovery is optimal. In my carb cycling summer prep phases now @ 192lbs very lean veins everywhere. Low carb days protein is 230g+\- and high carb days it's at 180g bc carbs are protein sparing. In rebound phases protein stays around 230-240g and carbs are the variable. Diet is basically moderately high protein, low fat, moderate to high carbs. This allows me to stay lean, about 20lbs over competition weight, year round.
I struggle with my busy daily life to get 1 g of protein per kilogram daily. But I do reach about half my goal and still make gains not huge gains, but I definitely make gains.
We highly underestimates our calories and protien consumption.....
You struggle with 1g per kg?? Per pound is understandable, but struggling per kg sounds crazy. Let's say you weigh 90 kg, a simple whey protein shake alone would be nearly 1/3 of your daily goal.
@Randomnamegoeshere I was thinking the same thing, lol. Maybe meant lbs?
Wo this is a very amazing and superb video bro telling about this topic of do we really need 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight and keep it up and keep up the good work as always and take care
Keep smiling always
Bring Build Up back!
Thanks😮
What is the maintenance figure ? Wouldn't like to fall short of that.

I ate 1 gram per pound and my doctor flipped out my liver count was off the chart . Went to 1 gram per kilo and in 1 month liver count was back to normal.
Betcha .55g is very few people. More is better.

Just thought of an interesting question? If the ranfge is now .55 to 1 gram of protein does that mean that you could cycle protein like you do carbs between these values? Or is it best to maintain a lower limit to not go under consistently?

The article show at 1:18 minutes states that the protein intake is Xg per kg of bodyweight. Not pounds.
Did you watch the video with sound?
We took this into account in our explanation.
This was really helpful!! I’m a petite woman looking to put on some muscle but certainly not a LOT. 1g/bodyweight is a lot. .75g sure sounds a lot better to me! Thanks so much!!

I am up to a pound of beef per day. half for breakfast, half for lunch.
Too funny, I was eating a pound a day, but I’m going to cut back to half a pound a day. I’m a petite woman. I’m also getting protein from cottage cheese, milk, and sometimes potatoes. Hopefully more moderate protein intake will be okay.
@@PeaceIsYeshua I have been eating potatoes on the weekends, gained a few pounds.

Too funny!! I gain weight if I eat potatoes with too much saturated fat, UNLESS it’s coconut fat! 🤷🏻♀️
I think it’s because coconut fat is very thermogenic, which makes you burn more calories.
I make an amazing sauce using only coconut cream with mustard, and then I pour that over my potatoes along with onions, and it is absolutely amazing!
I do not gain weight when I eat potatoes in this way!
I hope you might find this helpful for you as a way to enjoy your potatoes!
Oh, you can even bake your potatoes in the oven, and then sauté them with just a small amount of butter - - you do not need much at all, but sautéing them with just a small amount of butter will give them that french fry flavor, and then you can top them with ketchup! The fat content will be very low, but they are amazing! 🤩
So is it 1 g per kilogram or 1 g per pound?
The studies suggest 0.5g or higher per kilogram of body weight.
The studies were done in kg but our explanations were adjusted for the conversion.
Most of the world uses kg. Thanks from New Zealand. 😊
Appreciate the clarification. I’ve been going off of pounds and struggling to reach 1g/pound. But as it turns out I’ve been doing ok since it’s kg-based. Thanks again, and @musclemonsters - love your content as I’m only 5 months in my journey and your videos have been guiding me on me what to do. Is there a way to request video topics for things that are near impossible to get a straight answer on?
@@musclemonsters No, you did not adjust your number correctly. I told you this and you are acting like we can't look at the video and the studies. Your number suggestions are mixing kg and lb recommendations. 0.5g/KG is the correct ratio - not 0.55g/LB like you said. That's way too high. A revision is in order as it seems you made a simple mistake when editing.
Copied from the dose-response study conclusion: "These findings suggest that slightly increasing current protein intake for several months by 0.1 g/kg/d in a dose-dependent manner over a range of doses from 0.5 to 3.5 g/kg/d may increase or maintain lean body mass."
These studies are all using grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. You are mistaken to suggest 0.55g per pound of bodyweight as that is an error of 2.2x due to the conversion ratio of kilograms to pounds.
So, it would be something like 0.25g of protein per pound, not 0.55g per pound. It's best to simply convert your bodyweight into kilograms, then adjust protein intake in grams accordingly.
I appreciate you pointing that out, but we did adjust for this in our explanation.
@@musclemonsters No, you didn't. Your conclusion starting at 2:37 starts at 0.55g/LB instead of grams and increases from there. You are still using the incorrect measure of unit in your calculations. Unless you are deliberately deviating from the study conclusions, then you need to revise your video. Even if you are saying it deliberately, it does not follow from the studies and you need to clarify.
The new upload schedule is wild. It’s hurting the channel. It’s 4:30am and the video has been up for 2hrs. Who’s up at 2:30am to click the video. This is for china now? Use your be an American time zone, uploading in the morning after people got up
I was under the impression that you need 1,6g per kg of LBM for maintenance, and 2g per kg of LBM if you want to build muscle. 1kg = 2.2lbs.
So it looks like your impression was wrong. ;)
Almost everybody on earth eats way less than 1,6 g/kg. If you were correct then the bodies of the normal population would shrink on a daily basis!

@MrDIDowning,
It’s been a month, and I’m sure they’ve seen your comment by now. I would suggest deleting your comment since it contains your personal address. 🙏🏻 For a variety of reasons, it’s not a good idea to reveal your address publicly.
