@firespeed45 yeah it's crazy, it's so often the raw vegans who quit

@firespeed45 Finally, someone criticizing the raw vegan diet, I have never heard them put forth evidence, I've only heard them say how they "feel" good on the diet

@drobbyb as much as I like jeff nippard, his video on protein intake is bro science, he just cherry picks studies which recommend the highest amount you can find

@jimishasmom Peanuts

@christ_our_lord I recommend eating beans, tofu and certain high protein whole grains like quinoa

@christ_our_lord That is really low, what are you protein sources?

@jsp2003 Yes and a bit less is still good

@pena150695 That makes sense, but the quote I used comes from a paper in my post, which I had to edit in because apparently it wasn't there, not the link I sent you. I'm still going to stick to 2.2 because I have an incredibly fast metabolism so that makes me an anomaly, I now consume 3500...

@pena150695 Apparently, I'm missing a hyperlink in my text, I thought I put it in the. Edit: you can now find the paper in which the recommendation is made, they reference this meta-analysis: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/6/376

@pena150695 My first source disagrees with my statement the second source doesn't. I just used the first source for the intake sedentary people need

@pena150695 Nitrogen balance is an indirect measure of muscle growth, so it's a pretty bad marker. They also talk about one study in which a higher protein intake didn't make a difference. First of all, is this tested on beginners to resistance training? Do they train a lot of muscles or only...

@pena150695 Yeah 1.4g per kg is also a good intake, but you get a small improvement when you increase it, and yeah I think it's reasonable to assume that vegans can benefit from a slightly higher intake. Also 0.8g per kg is enough for maintaining muscle, for a sedentary individual, but not for...

@pena150695 I quoted the paper in my post, if you mean directly from the study then I can't give it, for some reason I can't find the meta analysis anymore. After 1.6g per kg you only get a very small advantage and that goes up to 2.2g per kg if I understand it correctly

@boazd Yeah that's what I first thought, but today I had a discussion with someone on this thread who said 0.8g per pound should be 0.8g per kg so yeah some people really believe it

@israelarb You can also use 1.6g per kg of body or in between

@dubschanging Yeah that's a good protein intake

I see this myth too often in this community, the minimum recommendation for sedentary adults is 0.8g per kg of body weight, not for people who want to increase muscle protein synthesis (AKA building muscle) and also not for active individuals as their body also requires more protein for...
