how much protein?

[@coleman]

how much protein do I need? I am 84 kg with 14%bf. I hear different things, one say 1-1,5 gr protein each pound body weight, others say 1-1,5 gr protein each pound of muscle.

you really only need about 1g per pound when gaining weight
about 1.25-1.5g per pound when losing weight.

 

[@coleman]

and is this 1g per pound of total body weight, or per pound fat free weight?

 

[Suareezay]

i use total bodyweight personally, but im pretty ectomorphic.

I use 1.8 to 2 gr per lean weight.
