Hello everyone. So the topic of protein intake came across my mind today so I decided to search the interwebs on the "optimal intake" per kg/lb (total or LBM). Within the past couple of years, it looks like studies have backed an optimal intake of .82-1g prot/lbs. I started lifting about 5 years ago where the idea of optimum intake was 1.5-2g (sometimes even 3g!)/lb at the time. Since then, I've been stuck on the idea of having an intake of 1.5g prot/lb. I was wondering if anyone who lowered their protein intake from 1.5g+/lb to ~0.8/lb at some point in time could share their experience with me. Did anyone experience any differences? Pros/cons/etc? Need some confirmation on the matter cause it feels weird changing what I've been doing for a few years..
I'm considering changing from:
Protein: 1.5g/lb
Carbs: Fill with remaining cals
Fats: 0.5g/lb
To this:
Protein: 0.82-0.90g/lb
Carbs: Fill with remaining cals
Fats: 0.5g/lb
