When bulking take in about 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.

I weigh 126 lbs and usually get around 185-245G of protein lifting hard 6 days a week. Might be overkill but I love chicken/steak and eggs. Every once in awhile a snack I enjoy is a whole rotissere chicken at a time. I have no idea how many grams of protein.

Your body can only use so much protein in a given day. If you weigh 130 the max I would eat would be 200 grams a day if that. After you get your 1 gram per pound of bodyweight it is more important to work on getting the whole spectrum of vitamin, nutrients, and calories up in numbers rather than just blasting protein.

Nicely put.

lower protein when bulking, you dont need as much of it, what you need are calories and if you take in more protein than your body can possibly use for repair then you body will go and use calories that would be better used for repair to break down protein into glucose. This creates a fewer availbe cals, and in the end you'll still have the same amoun of protein as if you had just eaten less, yet at the expense of calories. When cutting however this is optimal, so then raise protein.

The human body is quite effecient at using protein, for that reason you really dont need more than 1g of complete protein per pound of body weight. Anything above that and possibly even that causes your chances of calories to be used in gluconeogenesis to increase.

I chow down 230 grams a day no matter if I am bulking or cutting.

i tend to average roughly 1.2 - 1.3 per pound of bodyweight.

i tried 2 grams years ago but had no greater gains.

i get in at least 300 a day and i only weigh 171 lbs. i don't try to get in that much but it just happens to be that way every day.

I weigh 250lbs and I eat 250-300 most days, 300-450 on lifting days.
