Just curious.

"Based on the sound research, many review papers have concluded 0.82g/lb is the upper limit at which protein intake benefits body composition (Phillips & Van Loon, 2011). This recommendation often includes a double 95% confidence level, meaning they took the highest mean intake at which benefits were still observed and then added two standard deviations to that level to make absolutely sure all possible benefits from additional protein intake are utilized. As such, this is already overdoing it and consuming 1g/lb ‘to be safe’ doesn’t make any sense. 0.82g/lb is already very safe."

This puts me at only 126g of protein intake per day.

List out below information of yourself.

Your bodyweight :
Your fat%:

Doesn't it depend on lean body weight?
2 guys maybe the same weight, but one may be working out and is lean / muscular and another one who is not working out at all and obese. The obese one may not really benefit from the same amount of protein from the guy who works out, despite having the same weight?

Yes, but it's very hard to figure out the weight of one's lean mass. But you're right on the obese and active comparison..

So your 125g of protein per day is based on your current body weight I suppose?
