Topic	Diet/workout experts - does protein really make a difference?
pinky0926 06/30/21 9:52:06 AM #176:	Slayerblade11 posted... Needing a ton of protein is one of the biggest exaggerations and myths of the fitness industry Countless studies have shown that 0.82g/lb is the upper limit of protein needed daily and that's for people who exercise rigorously and basically do it for a living. That's a ~114g of protein daily for a 140 lb male. 100g is enough for the vast majority of people to get gains. Consistency, training and most importantly time, matter far more than trying to create the perfect diet by painstakingly trying to track every calorie, macro and micro nutrient. Though i'm biased because I hate dieting I think it stems from 1) Most people undereat in proteins, if muscle gain is their goal and they aren't thinking about their diet. Take the average 140lb male and look at his diet, he's probably eating 60grams of protein. Which is fine for general living but eventually you're gonna start spinning your wheels at the gym. I'm 175lb and if I don't get in at least a couple of whey schoops a day I undershoot it, and I eat chicken or beef or fish most days. 2) there's not apparently any disadvantage to overshooting it a bit --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:955595643] in Diet/worko...
