Importance of Protein and my goal?
So, I have my goals set on my app telling me I have a protein of 84 kg. But I always hear more protein is better for both muscle growth and weight loss. So, should I be aiming to keep this at that rough number it's giving me or does it matter if I go over?

What's my Activity Level?

However, over the years, I reverted to my old habits…

The scanner said muscle and water is same density so the scan may have been fooled a little bit if I were dehydrated either time but not by much he…
