I was recently in a nutrition seminar from my gym, and jr was explained like that if we would like to maintain our muscle mass, 0.8x grams of protein per kg of bodyweight. To build muscle; 1.2x-2.2x grams of protein per kg of bodyweight.
I am going to the gym to build muscle. And i observe that if i eat less than 1.5x grams of my bodyweight (kg), i feel very low energy and tired, have brittle nails etc. What i would recommend is to try and find a balance for you that works.
So to clarify, you recommend eating 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of your body weight, per day?
Sorry, I don’t have much experience with fitness. I’m just a nerd.
I don’t recommend, really.
