Notes -
What’s the deal with protein dosage when you’re building muscle. Taking the broscience rule of thumb of 1g/lb means you’re eating your whole body’s worth of weight of protein in 1 1/3 of a year.
Obviously there is some efficiency curve, but what else is going on here?
You constantly shed protein via skin and intestinal lining sloughing off their outermost layers. That's why you don't gain 75% of your starting weight in muscle in a year when you start eating 2g/kg protein.
