how much protein do I need when lifting?

1lb per body weight is correct, that is the best diet, to get lean and stay strong. Remember, that you'll need to eat as if you are a caveperson, only fresh meat, fresh fruit and vegetables. Simple! - In order to Grow Muscle size, you'll need 1.5 to 2lbs per body weight in order to feed the muscles and get the aminos the muscle cells need to grow mass. You can achieve the increase protein by eating egg Whites (never eat the full egg) 1 cup 2x a day, protein powder drinks 2 a day, chicken breast 2lbs a day (I eat a lot of chicken breasts)!

No.

You don't need to "eat like a caveperson." You can eat whatever you want as long as you hit your cals/macros.

Never eat the full egg? WTF NOT? Why would you waste that delicious yolk???

:noway:

There's a lot of incorrect "broscience" in here...

first, there's nothing wrong with eating carbs you want. You do not need to eat like a caveman, unless you prefer to.

Second, there is never any reason to purposely avoid eating full eggs, unless you have high cholesterol or are VERY closely watching your calorie intake.

I agree with eating a lot of lean protein, and protein supplement shakes are never a bad idea. I almost never get to my daily goal without a scoop or two.

I felt that mennohenselmans.com article was a bit too over the top. Its trying so hard to debase a general statement that it doesn't even touch on the whole concept or the point of high protein consumption. There's nothing bro science about choosing a diet focused on protein rather than carbohydrates and fat. In fact, the author also wrote another article saying we don't actually need to have any carbohydrates in our diets at all. While there is some scientific merit, these's no need to confuse people on here with it.

1 g per pound of lean body weight. For instance... when I was really overweight, it would be pointless to eat over 300 grams of protein. Around 150 has been plenty for me.

Take note of this. 1g per lb of LEAN body weight not actual bodyweight. I weigh 212lbs but with my bodyfat around 20% my lean body mass is around 163-165 so i aim for around 170g protein a day.

cottage cheese, tuna, chicken are my big three. tins of tuna can have like 30g protein so you can soon boost your protein count.

For all of the "Haters" out there, that want to question the meal-plan advise and call it bro-science. Watch this video, and it will educate you.
