[QUOTE="JohnTaylorHK, post: 170904, member: 33105"] I have read lots of research on the subject of "How much Protein is right for me?". Most of the technical analysis comes back round to the 1g per lb of body weight, although I think this is well over what is required for the non-athlete. The RDA of 0.8g/Kg bodyweight (0.36g/lb) was intended to achieve a zero nitrogen balance, and not the positive nitrogen balance needed for growth. So somewhere north (higher) of this figure is usually necessary. However, I have met very well developed bodybuilders who thrive at these levels, so I guess easy gainers need less? I use 0.8g/lb (I don't gain muscle easily but lose fat easily!) and have just about got it right in terms of body composition, but I don't intend to compete for Mr Olympia anytime soon. If you are on the higher amounts, I definitely recommend upping your hydration. Namaste. [/QUOTE]
