>>19660338For lifters/athletes it's 1g per pound that you want to weigh. So if your goal is to weigh 210, then it's 210g per day.
For everyone else, it's per healthy BMI weight for your height, not per your actual weight, so a man who is six foot can eat between 130g and 180g per day.
300 lbs mega fatties who weigh 2x+ what they should should still be eating their ideal weight's worth of protein a day.
It's not just muscle, it's brain power. That survival show on the island with the pee drinker always talks about how the lack of protein will destroy the performance of the people and lead to them getting sick, weak, and potentially dying, etc.
