How do you know how much protein to eat to build muscle?

+/- 1gram per lb. Don't over think it. In my opinion, if you are lean go on the heavier side ~1.2 , if high body fat go low ~.8). Full disclosure... I don't think it really matters as long as your close. We tend to obsess

I aim for roughly 1g per lb and try to get a good amount in each meal. Makes it easier to stay consistent with my diet and training

Thank you. If you are lean do you require more protein? Or is that a suggestion?

If I am consistent most days, but get 0.5-0.6 grams per lb will that effect me at all?
