    Can you get your protein from eating food instead?

    yes, I tend to do that. I had a nutritionist tell me that 90G was fine.

    I accidentally put in 24 x 12 oz serves, instead of 24oz. I love that the app was happy for me.

    It all depends on your fitness goals. The regular, average person needs nowhere near 1g/lb of body weight.

    But of course if you're trying to build muscle, you're not trying to be just average ;)

    There's protein in screws? I get that screws are probably a really good source of iron, but I'm pretty sure they don't contain protein.

    Isn't it 1 gram of protein for each pound of LBM (not bodyweight)?

    Either that or it's the protein you get from the other type of screw :devil:

    In the immortal words of Frank Drebin - "Nice beaver."

    (Another vote for 1g per lb of lean mass, not total bodyweight.)

    Nah, at this point its all about staying lean!!

    If your goal is to maintain then I don't know where you got the idea from that you need 1gb/lb.

    There's not even any science behind 1g/lb for actually building muscle, let alone maintaining.

    The last time I bothered to look into it, depending on the study, the amount of protein needed to maintain ranged from a third of that to less than half.



    Here's just a few studies to give you an idea:

    "Lean body mass (density) was maintained in bodybuilders consuming 1.05 g protein.kg-1.day-1. Endurance athletes excreted more total daily urea than either bodybuilders or controls. We conclude that bodybuilders during habitual training require a daily protein intake only slightly greater than that for sedentary individuals in the maintenance of lean body mass and that endurance athletes require daily protein intakes greater than either bodybuilders or sedentary individuals to meet the needs of protein catabolism during exercise."

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3356636

    See that? 1.05g per KILOGRAM


    Here's another:

    "Knowing that the habitual protein intake of a strength athlete is on average 2 g/kg body weight per day (54), it is safe to say that whether novice or advanced, protein requirements for maintaining and/or gaining LBM are being met. Evidence has clearly shown that actual protein requirements for strength training are significantly lower at 1.2 g/kg body weight per day for advanced and 1.5–1.7 g/kg body weight per day for novice (31,32,43,57,59)."
