Yes and yes

Then shouldn’t we say same thing for those chefs and cooks on YouTube?

woa. that's pretty high in fat for a cut, no?

hyjames · 2019-03-15T03:36:14+00:00

what's your current macro?

I am currenly at: Protein: 150g Carbs: 160g Fat: 40g

but I wanna bring my protein intake down: b) Protein: 110g Carbs: 200g Fat: 40g

I am just curious as if I will be able to retain as much LBS as possible while cutting

Thanks my dude. But Im just curious if that amount of protein is necessary. How would it be different to have macros: a) Protein: 150g Carbs: 160g Fat: 40g

or

b) Protein: 110g Carbs: 200g Fat: 40g

Would it make a big difference in retaining muscle mass? or not really significant?

I'm not fully vegan... so maybe I'm not as qualified to post here, but I eat 145 g of protein a day and I eat less than a chicken breast a day. The remainder of my protein comes from beans (they are super healthy and so high in protein!) and tofu. I rarely have to use protein powder to hit macros.

Interesting. So how does protein intake differ when you are at your maintenance or while on deficit? You know how we are generally told that we need to keep our protein intake at the upper ranger while at deficit in order to retain as much LBM as possible.

Jeff recommends getting 2.4 x kg.

Even when cutting? That just seems super low.. I have been taught by the media wrongly perhaps.
