Losing weight and but maintain muscle, how much protein

tempest501

Hi,

I am trying to cut down and lose about 14 mounts and I weight train 3 times a week. I was just wondering if I can dial back protein a bit and not lose muscle since there is pleny of weight on me that would be easier to burn? at the moment anyway.

Just recently tried to bulked and now want to cut it down slowly before summer. I was trying to eat about 1g per pound of bodyweight which was working out around 165g a day but not sure if i really need to do this and would like to dial back calories more evenly. Was think of going about 120g a day (my weight is roughly 165 pounds at the moment).

Thought or advice?
