So, I'm really curious what happens if youre a bodybuilder but don't get enough protein? You get enough to be healthy, but not the 1g per pound enough. Does your muscle simply stop growing? Do you get fatter due to lack of protein? Or is it a simple really slow growth of muscles? I'm really curious.

I'm just guessing, but I would think you wouldn't build muscle as optimally as you could if you were consuming the 1-1.2g per lbs. Thats all just my opinion, which doesn't mean ****.

This guy knows what he's talking about. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE 1.5-2g/lb bull****, even 1g/lb is more than enough (according to actual scientific studies). Actually scientific studies say .7-8g/lb, but 1g/lb is used to make sure you're not getting too little. Your body can only use so much to build muscle, and the rest just goes to energy and fat.

i just like to eat more protien..it's preference "too much" protien or the protein ur body doesnt synthesize for muscle building gets converted to glycogen or fat
