Is it 1g per pound or 1g per kg for protein?

>>76379080 (OP)
lb.

1g per lb of lean body mass

1.5g per kg lean body mass.

Why would they use grams and lbs? Why not ounces and lbs, and grams and kg. Why mix too systems?

I've seen numerous studies & professionals orgs recommend as little as 1g/kg. Truth is most recommendations are likely leaning towards more than you really need. Ultimately these are baselines and it really depends on your training. If you're doing crazy volume, lean towards 1.5g/kg. But if you're doing basic splits with moderate volume I bet you could get by with 1g/kg.

America is all over the place. Canada is even worse I'd imagine there are many countries where people weigh themselves in pounds, but us metric for food.

This correlated somewhat closely to what my conclusion was when i watched studies and used chatgpt to come up with an appropriate intake for protein. People don't usually take into account lean body mass or activities involved. The 2-3g/kg always seemed a bit too much to me.
