I gotta eat 160g of protein a day

I think if you ask 15 people how much protons they need, you'll get 15 answers.

>1g per kg!
>1g per lb!
>No you only need 1g for 80% of your weight!
>No you need 1g for 120% of your weight because you lift!

I have no fucking clue, I just try for at minimum 120g per day. the more I try to look into it the more varied answers I see.

the breast without the tenders is around 150-250, some without can go up to 400

A can of tuna has 1 gram of fat and 0.2g of carbs / 100g so I think your maths is a little off m8

not everyone is a fatass with innate fat genes

>whey
>chicken
>fish
>greek yogurt
>cottage cheese

or you could just read the research

I think he's talking about the fillet, not the chicken breast with bones and all.

It's really simple, you want a little over 1g for every pound of lean body mass, but these recommendations aren't exact because they don't NEED to be exact (the average person training/dieting will not need to be EXACT +/-20g doesn't matter)

My "rule" is 1g for every pound of lean body mass (if I'm 200lb@20% bodyfat, that's 160g), that is for "maintenance" protein if I'm generally looking to maintain current weight/size.

If you're trying to gain weight the rule is 1g protein for what your GOAL weight would be (if I'm 150lb trying to get to 180, 180g protein)

This really isn't that difficult. Nutrition is an EXTREMELY complex field, however weight loss/gain is a very simple formula.

Yeah mine are usually half a pound each at least with no bones. Usually about 200g at least after I cut off the fatty rib meat.

Like 2/3 of an average breast.
2 chicken breasts and one scoop should get you to your goal.

I get approx 200g protein a day in 1500kcal.

>implying research doesn't contain contradictions and refutations all the time

This is not OP btw

2g/kg lbm is my go-to (which ends up being 0.91g/lb). Some say 1g/lb (which is 2.2g/kg), but you won't lose all your gains overnight and stall on lifts for months if you have up to 18g less of protein a day.

100 grams of meat is about the size of a deck of cards and assuming it's reasonably lean, most meat is between 20 and 30 grams of protein. So to get to 150g of protein, you need 6 decks approximately.

I just go with more is better.
And protein is protein, so long as your body gets it before it starts catabolising itself then it's not wasted. L

You really don't have to. According to a study posted on suppversity, high protein diet actually decreases testosterone. Try between 45g-75g.

Here's an article which cites quite a few scientific sources indicating that 0.82g/lb of lean bodyweight is probably the most an athlete will benefit from, including bodybuilders, and that you'd probably be fine with less:
bayesianbodybuilding.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/

The 1-2 grams of protein/lb of body weight was some of the less helpful advice I got when starting out; I ended up just over eating, getting farty on protein powder, and way over thinking my diet for years. Listening to guys just because they are "big guys" and their diet based off something they heard second hand years ago might not be the way to go, they might just happen to be dipshits.

...

what is the Story behind this pic ?

You were probably just a fucking retard that mistook 2g protein per kg. No one says 2g per pound, not even on roids.

GOMAD + 3 big meals with meat

you'll be fine buddy

>You were probably just a fucking retard
Yes

>2g protein per kg
No, is that the kind of stupid shit you do?

> No one says 2g per pound, not even on roids.
Of course they do you fucking monkey, hence the suggestion that some people while big, are still dipshits

mirin your macros. where does the other 180 g protein come from?

Theres an easier way.

8 scoops

2 scoops every 3 hours

Chicken, kangaroo, cruciferous vegetables.

Avg can of chunked white chicken is 300-350 grams. It's about 0.75lb of a chicken per can

Any can of tuna, or should look for anything specific?

>Canned chicken.
McFucking why?

>fat genes
shut up tumblr

Tuna has a shit ton of mercury though.

you would have to eat multiple cans of tuna a day every day for a year to have significant mercury to get mercury poisoning.

>2017
>eats peanuts

almonds faggot

>I need to eat 160g of protein a day

You don't.

RDI is something like 0.35g per lb (or 0.8g per kg).

After about 100g protons I stop counting proteins (I get more than that, but that's the point at which I stop caring).

Of course, if I were to try to lose weight, I'd probably be more anal about my proteins and my food in general.

light tuna has less mercury, so you can eat more of it more often
also canned salmon is basically the same, but with less mercury as well

Eating tiny amounts of rat poison won't kill you either. Would you still eat it?

>two scoops in morning
>20g protein bar in afternoon
>two scoops at night

that's an easy 100g right there

if it had brotein, yes

You need to provide that source fucker, that's a hefty(false) claim

100g? what? The breasts I get weight around 300g each. Pic related is two breasts.

>no eggs or milk
>greek yogurt

You Americans will never know the glory of quark.

If you overeating and got fat on 2g/lb then you ate too much fat and carbs thats not the proteins fault

>4 scoops and whey bar everyday
The state of Veeky Forums

OP is never going to make it

1.5 cup of cottage cheese and can of tuna alone should be 60g protons

Strong keto flex user
Impressed

not american and I eat plenty of eggs and milk (they are good but aren't nearly as high protein)
never had quark though

>160g
>g
>How the fuck is that even possible
You do this thing called eating
And you're right
Bullshit
It is.

I have sort of the same problem but instead I max out my daily calorie allowance without hitting my daily protei goal.

Cant i just do 6 scoops in a smoothie and call it a day? Eating shit and counting calories is a hassle

That's extremely unspecific, 1 breast? They come in wildly different sizes, at least in the US

can you simplify it for a autist sake please

>Tuna has a shit ton of mercury though.

Canned Tuna is fine.

Eat 2.5 dozen eggs a day and you'll be half the man Gaston was and you'll be at 180 protein user.

I watched a bit of that weird ass movie

He meant 1 100g breast is about 100g

>Protein shake, 2 scoops with milk
At least 60g protein
>Big can of black beans
49g protein
>1lb ground turkey
80g protein

There you go.

Broscience disagrees

1/3 Turkey breast contains about 55-70g of protein. A can of tuna 40g. You can also try shakes, although you don't really need them.

I don't know why, but I never laughed that much for a picture this dumb. Thanks.

>9am - 3 cups of fat free Greek yogurt mixed with one cup of granola
>2pm - 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey made into sloppy Joes on 3 potato rolls
220g protein by 3pm, learn how to eat

Before anyone says shit about all the protein I eat, I'm a /fraud/ with INS, I need everything I can get.
