The potential problem is that the other macronutrients may have a greater effect on performance.

Using your weight:
180/2.204 = 81.67kg

Using the slot provided in your original post (2g/kg to 2.6g/kg), you'd be eating somewhere between 163 and 212g protein per day.

This doesn't seem...

^ That. My favorite of the above being Helms.

My assumption is that they are providing a range between 2.0 and 2.6 because they are using multiple studies to arrive at that recommendation. Leanness, training intensity, caloric balance (deficit...

I get that there are varying degrees of success as it pertains to aesthetics on these boards, but to make the claim that Ian "doesn't look like he lifts" is quite a bit ridiculous.

^ This question would precede the OPs.

I can't comment on rate of oxidation but generally, excess protein will increase oxidation of protein.
Here's a good start, IMO:...

I would also generally caution you against taking information from documentaries and mistaking it for research based info that you should apply to your own practice.

My opinion is that assuming you're using a reasonable training protocol and getting sufficient nutrition, the partitioning of calories and nutrients intra-day or intra-week isn't going to have a...

^ This is a good method, or something along these lines. You have to look at trends and not day-to-day fluctuations.

Generally speaking I just change diet. If I WERE to change volume at all, I would be using lower volumes during a cut and higher volumes during a bulk. Lyle makes brief reference here:...

I have only been (unfortunately) doing bench/squats/deads for about 6 months now, out of a total 2 years training experience. So, even though my primary desire is hypertrophy, I'm taking a few...

Pretty sure Lyle's was a short term study that compared the effects of a fast food meal vs whole foods meal of similar macro distribution. Still a good read if this is the study you're referring to:...

Haven't seen the clip yet, but I'm a professional magician (close-up) for corporate events and I've seen a lot of Darren's material and instructional items. He's definitely a brilliant thinker and...

I'd prefer to save those calories for real food considering the lack of importance of adding sugar to your whey protein.

Yes, but you have to consider context. There's a big difference between doing intense cardio for long periods of time, and a 20 minute jog. This article should clear things up to some extent:

No idea what your bodyfat is at, and since you've read the above book I'll assume this material isn't new to you, but I'm linking this as it's relevant to the above and it may give you (or anyone...

Hard to predict.

You should be using various metrics to show progress. Hopefully you were doing this since day 1. Measurements around your navel/waist, chest/arms/etc, photographs (typically at...

Also hard to tell because your shorts are tight around the waist and it's probably making your sides look extra flabby. Another 10lbs though is a reasonable guess.
