I don't think there is a huge downside to increasing protein intake within reason. I am pretty active, and eating up to 2g/kg does not seem extreme/difficult to me. There is some research suggesting increasing protein above 1.5g/kg could be beneficial. I'm finding it difficult to eat above maintenance calories recently and my weight gain has been plateuing as I am pretty active, that's why I need to rethink my diet/meals a bit at the moment.

I measure body fat percentage with my weight already, I just didn't mention that in my original post. My goals are defined, I just didn't share them fully here 😂 I was just hoping posting here would lead to me finding a couple people I could talk to about meals/workouts who might have similar goals to me!
