I do actively build muscle, the thing is that you don’t have to be “optimal” to do so.
You can build plenty of muscle if you eat significantly below the recommended 1g/lb that fitness influencers talk about, it just won’t be as much as you could have otherwise.
That’s a fine trade for me, I’m not planning to compete in any bodybuilding shows and I have other things I’d rather focus on in life.
- tasoga 4y agoWhile I am certain that influencers are saying 1g/lb, I just want to clarify that it is around 1.4-1.6g/kg. It takes significantly less protein to build muscle and have an atheltic physique than some are trying to prescribe, which is a shame because it is overconsumption like anything else we do and as a vegetarian I previously struggled with the idea knowing full well I couldn't hit 190 g of protein unless I was chugging shakes all day
- comte7092 4y agoThe irony is that even non vegetarians will chug shakes all day to get “enough” protein.
