IME, when I take long breaks from lifting, keeping my protein intake high means I lose muscle much more slowly. One gram of protein per pound of body weight daily has been a major game changer in losing weight and gaining muscle. Gray beard BTW.
- kevlened 2y agoYou could consider cutting the protein consumption a bit. Science VS did an episode diving into the research last year. The conclusion was 0.8 g/kg (or 0.36 g/lb) was enough. 1 g/lb is ~2.2 g/kg https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/j4hln2vl https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/j4hln2vl
- nradov 2y agoYou could consider increasing protein consumption a bit. Other research indicates something like 1.1 g/kg is better. Of course quality matters too: people who are getting most of their protein from lower quality plant sources may need more in order to get enough of certain essential amino acids. https://peterattiamd.com/lucvanloon/ https://peterattiamd.com/lucvanloon/
