170g of protein?? Are you also doing a carnivore diet or keto?

• hn_throwaway_99 5y ago
  "gram of protein per pound of bodyweight" is a fairly standard macro ratio in the fitness community. 170g of protein is only 680 cals, so plenty of room left over for carbs and fat.

    Right, and in my case I was only going for .8 grams per pound. It's hard to do without going over on calories without a lot of meals being skinless chicken breast.

    I think the formula is .8g per kg of bodyweight, not per pound. That’s a significant difference.

      That's for the average person, but for someone who's trying to gain muscle, a minimum of .8 per lb is recommended.
