Everywhere I look online I see the daily intake of protein for a male adult is suppose to be around 50g per day.
Yet when I use the calculator in the sticky tdeecalculator.net it tells me I need 190g of protein per day (on a 30/35/35 macro)
What should I trust? Is it just a trick to make common people protein-malnourished?
I'm new here, pls be gentle

Well, daily intake will differ based on the goal of each individual. Yes, 50g will be enough for a normal person with a sedentary lifestyle but someone who is trying to gain muscle mass will require a lot more, such as yourself.

There is how much a human male requires and how much a human male bodybuilder requires.
And average male requires about 50g of protein per day. However, if you're in physical training then you take your weight and use that number as grams of protein.
I.e.
-Weigh 200 pounds.
Must have 200 g of protein per day.
If you're dyel then 0.8g/kg, as you progress you can gradually increase up to 1.2g/kg. Above that more protein doesn't help muscle growth.

So 50g is more a muscle 'maintenance' intake?
Not trying to steal free advice off you but would you say that site tdeecalculator.net is accurate then? If not, do you or anyone else here know of a better online calculator?
Lean body mass, not overall mass.
Else a 400lbs fat as fatass needs 400g of protein.
