It ranges anywhere from .75-1.5 per pound of "current" bodyweight. I think 1 per pound is a good starting point. There is a thread by 3J with BMR/tdee calcs and sample diets, i suggest you go there and post up your stats. There are many different ways to diet carb cycle, keto, or just a nice even split of 40/40/20 or any kind of other variation.

There is also a great thread about good macros like fats, proteins and carbs. Read both and post up your info.

i hate this such and such grams per bodyweight CRAP...

im almost 300lbs.. at 1.5 that puts my protein needs in at 450g?? THATS RETARDED!!!!

most will never need to go over 300g protein...

in your situation i would say 250g is what you should shoot for


have you ever though of hiring a nutritional coach?
