1.6 g protein/kg/d (0.7 g/lb) still does it, and there's no data to show otherwise. New preprint: link in bio Greg Nuckols made the case for more protein carefully, with his work shown. Thank you, Greg. He's right that our 2018 breakpoint was soft. He puts the plateau near 2.0, and we're closer than people think. Where we differ is what we're measuring. Nearly every trial reports lean mass, and about half of it isn't muscle. Take it at face value anyway: about three months of lifting adds 1.1 kg and extra protein adds 0.3 on top. Double the protein from 1.6 to 3.2 for 16 weeks? Not significant. Strength, no difference. The arithmetic says the same. An absurd 20 kg of new muscle in a year costs 13.7 g of protein a day. About two eggs. Muscle rebuilds largely from its own amino acids, and lifting makes that recycling more efficient. We measured it in 1997. Women do NOT have protein requirements different than men. Menopause does not change this. Lifting is ALWAYS the big stimulus. L...
