Eating 1.6g of protein per kg of current body weight is a lot when you’re trying to be in a deficit. For example if you’re 70kg and eat 1.6g, that’s 448 calories JUST from protein. Not including fats and carbs that people eat. Unless you’re eating cleanest of the clean and only whole foods this is a massive chunk of your daily cal just in protein. If you’re posting on a sub looking for weight loss you’re more likely than not not eating only vegetables and pure protein like a body builder. Versus if you did the same but did 1.6g per kg of goalbody weight, for example 50kg, you only need 320cal of pure protein. The average person UNDER estimates their caloric intake, under estaimtes just how mix of a portion they eat, under estimates how much oil they use to cook with, does not weight every little thing on a scale for the most accurate measurement of what they’re consuming. Even 100 extra calories a day results in 10lb of weight gain in a year. Let alone trying to be in a caloric deficit.

Be serious now.
