What is everyone opinion on how LITTLE protein you can get away with and still be able to grow??
For years I've always been in the group that higher protein is best with 1.5g per pound of body weight was a minimum (unless really fat) but now days I'm having major issues with being able to eat enough protein and I'm having to try to figure out what I can get away with.
If you used quality nutrition dense carbs and healthy fats to make up the rest of the calories to put you in a surplus , how much protein is really needed to grow??
I know alot of guys here are advocates of way less protein and much higher carbs. What ratio do you use and what's your philosophy behind this??
