1g per pound of LBM is great for maintaining where you are.

in my opinion, 1g per pound + 15g is great for adding size - eat for where you want to be, not where you are.

1.5-2g is right only for when cycling (more / less depending on how strong your cycle is), since you're growing at an unnatural speed.

not that i've really cycled much (once in fact) but thats what i believe. cylcers - what works best for you?
 


I don't have an attitude problem. YOU have a perception problem...

sh1t man...when I'm on it's 3g/lb+...when I'm cutting or just cruising it's 1g/lb...
 


I'll be the first to admit that I am the undisputed heavy weight champ of asinine decisions. Atleast, when sitting on my rock at the bottom, I'll be able to look back and realize I grinned ear to f'ing ear the whole crazy way down.

I'm not really sure what works best for me yet....

I try to go no lower than 1g per pound, but like to get around 1.5 hard training days! Being over 200 pounds just makes it so damn hard to do that though.

i try and EAT 1.25g per pound so including my shakes i'm hitting about 2.25. basically i try and keep it around 350-400 as i match it carbs with at least 1g carbs to 1g protein.

i vote 2 cause no ones perfect...
 


One for you...two for the doctor!

I chose 2g/lb because there wasn't a 1.5g option.

I shoot right for 2g/lb. That's the sweet spot for me that I've found going beyond that doesn't correlate to better gains.

Thats the beauty of protien powder... and protien bars

I'm at 1g per pound of body weight. Thats almost 300g per day. It seems to be working very well, however, protein consumption was never my problem. I was taking way too many carbs. Once I halved them, I'm finally leaning out fast.

Honestly, I often end up getting less than 1 gram per day. It's probably my biggest weakness in my training.

I would say I average about .8/lb a day.
