using the 0.8-1g of protein per lb of bodyweight is such a low number and makes you daily intake very odd
Say i am 6’3” and 180lbs, doing moderate to intense exercise 4-5 days a week, most calculators put this at ~3000kcal for maintenance
At 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight that leaves me with 720kcal worth of protein, assuming 50g of dietary lipids for hormone health, that would mean you’d have to consume 450 grams of carbs in a day, that is what marathon runners or soldiers in the field have
Wouldn’t 2-3g of protein per lb be more reasonable and simply letting your body make up the difference with gluconeogenesis be better?
No one needs close to 500 grams of carbs in a day lol
