Hey everybody,
I’ve been on a weight loss journey since about 2021, when I looked at myself and realized I was a bean bag with legs (260+lbs at 5’8m). Since then, I’ve been working on dropping that weight. I’ve been stuck at probably 220 for the last 2 years or so due to my schedule and some unfortunate injuries, but recently I’ve decided it’s time to cut my weight down and get my ideal body, and I’m currently weighing in at about 211 (I got close to 230 a few months ago and said it was time to lock back in). So far, I’ve been following an intermittent fasting/OMAD based diet and it’s been working great for me. I personally just eat when I get hungry, and what I’ve been eating is pretty low calorie and high protein.
However, the more research I’ve been doing, it seems like im very far off from my protein goal. Some people say eat .8-1g of protein per pound of body weight. Some people say eat your grams based on your goal weight. So let’s say my goal weight is about 165-170ish.. im realistically only eating about 100g of protein. I wouldn’t say im constantly starving either, I feel fine after I eat, and I feel like everything is sustainable even with how low calorie my meals are. I lift and exercise a fair amount, and I’d say im a generally strong individual, so im just curious at what point do you guys value protein? I know the issue is if I increase to 60 more grams, I’ll increase my calories which im just not looking forward to do. Anyone experienced something similar?
