Right here kyle quoted the AIS as saying to have 1.2-2g of protein per kg of body mass. I'm wondering why it's Body mass & not Lean body mass.
For example, Sam is 85kg @ 10% body fat. So he's got a LBM of 76.5kg (85kg - 8.5kg). If he were to have, for example 2g of protein per kg of body MASS that's 170g. If it were LBM then it'd be 153.
If Wayne was 85kg @ 25% body fat, that'd give him a LBM of 61.75kg. Say Wayne does his maths of 85 x 2g & comes to the answer of 170 calories (dah) for overall body mass protein intake. Or if it was LBM it'd be 123.5g (of protein).
Does anybody here see what i'm trying to say ?
Why supply calories for body fat? Since it doesn't actually need it. Please don't read this as a 'i'm trying to get a message across', it is a bit...that i think prescribing protein per lbm than overall body mass...i'm just...yeah....
