Protein intake whilst cutting

[Riccardo]

What proportion of calories does your protein intake make up?

Im cutting atm starting weight 95kg and wanna know how much protein I should be getting in? Currently It's about 230-250g per day. I've seen some guys taking in 300g plus and they are smaller than I am :shock: But that seems a bit overkill?

I understand there is huge debate as to how much is necessary but what are people thoughts? particularly those that have dieted down to contest conditioning levels.

always found switching out carbs to protein makes you leaner quicker - but still need some carbs unless you are look to quickly drop with keto.

P60/F25/C15% works well for me ...

awesome thanks, looks like I need to up my protein intake a bit and swap it out for some carbs as I am eating a fair amount of them about 200g so can easily cut 100g of carbs and swap that for 100g protein.

Looks like Im on the right track!

Cutting atm at:

260g Protein

195g Carbs

87g Fat

If anything, looks like I should be eating a few more calories, will up protein and a few more carbs can't hurt.
