What people are saying
The discussions are characterized by a concerted effort to interpret scientific data, with many posters referencing specific protein intake ranges such as 1.3-2.2 g/kg and alternatives like 0.8 g/lb, often citing research or expert opinions. The tone is analytical yet practical, aiming to clarify optimal intake for different athletic goals, demonstrating both high interest and engagement with the publication's insights.
Most discussions support the idea that higher-than-recommended protein intakes (around 1.3-2.2 g/kg) are beneficial for athletes and muscle growth, with some posts referencing established research and consensus in scientific literature.
Posts reveal a strong interest in dosage specifics, optimal ranges, and practical implications for athletes, indicating curiosity about applying scientific findings to fitness goals.
Many posters cite studies, mention specific intake ranges, and discuss how these recommendations apply in practice, demonstrating deep engagement with the article’s content and scientific context.
Although the discussions are detailed and reference established research, the overall perceived impact remains moderate, mainly informing nutritional practices rather than causing immediate change or policy shifts.
Abstract in brief
- Athletes' protein needs vary based on their training focus, with those engaging in resistance training typically consuming more to support muscle growth, while endurance athletes may require less.
- Consuming higher-than-RDA levels of protein, particularly around 13-18 g per kg of body weight per day, can maximize muscle protein synthesis, especially when distributed across multiple meals.
- Factors such as training intensity, experience, and energy intake influence optimal protein amounts, with increased needs during intense training or caloric deficits to help preserve muscle mass and support performance.]

Most liked on X and Bluesky2. Aim for 0.8 - 1.0 grams of protein per pound/day to maintain or build muscle mass. https://t.co/LA2YJnXbLL https://t.co/w96FWc861w https://t.co/1wbguYjNpe
@Mikejulian26 @raphaels7 @KetoCarnivore @DrEenfeldt @tednaiman @luis_villasenor 1.6–2.2 grams of protein per kg body weight is good in health adult. If trying to gain muscle or if on weight loss diet, aim to high end of range. If morbidly obese, use lean body weight instead of total weight. https://t.co/seY3QWZEEh https://t.co/BtRdSlm1U1

@hyper_high It’s 1.6 per kilo minimum for body composition. RDAs are minimums to avoid a deficiency, they arent targets for optimal health. https://t.co/IYMu22IOUA

@James_AndrewRob @Eccentric0Eagle Being a contrarian is when you follow the science? Numerous studies have shown that .6-.8 g/lb is optimal, maybe increasing up to .9 g/lb if you’re cutting. https://t.co/3bF3wvhQoK
@JuhanaHarju @HeikkiUusitalo Ison kuvan muutokseen tuskin aihetta? Tässä paperissa toki urheilijoiden erilaiset tarpeet tuotiin esiin, eli kestävyysliikkujillekin noin >1,3g/kg nöyttäisi riittävältä, ja punttiharjoittelijalle puolisen grammaa lisää per painokilo. https://t.co/6QbnHa08yf https://t.co/NsrrUAvHpD
@RMcavee @TatianaLiveFree @itsjustlucasok That is very little protein, and represents the minimum to prevent clinical deficiency. For anyone with a fitness goal, it's 1.3-1.8, and sometimes more. https://t.co/7hKzWWQxao
@rf121rf @CarnivoreAugust @martykendall2 @BenCostiloe https://t.co/wgcAExHuIT that protein intakes in the range of 1.3-1.8 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) consumed as 3-4 isonitrogenous meals will maximize muscle protein synthesis
@tautologer you probably don't need more than ~0.82g/lb. maybe a little more if you're trying to cut at the same time https://t.co/ZfjOf6CGni

@LokielHanRyu Je vois pas où tu veux en venir, de nombreuses sources scientifiques s'accordent à dire que la définition musculaire bénéficie d'une prise de prot alignée à l'intensité, à condition de respecter le dosage (entre 1.3 et 2g par kg) https://t.co/VW8adbW1GG https://t.co/k6zHWbynAa

@DAMAYOR69 @aka_Kimchi @imaSpaceboy https://t.co/PXmOMzZV6q indicates the upper of 1.8 is indicated for individuals currently lifting https://t.co/qLDDuI4G1C indicates 1.8 is indicated for maintenence of muscle during energy restriction. basically always good to get lots of brotein if you tryna be jacked 24/7
@CarnivoreSapien Excess protein is converted to urea which is excreted in the urine. These protein researchers believe there is an upper limited to useful protein consumption. https://t.co/VnbI0cezA5 https://t.co/1NyWejolaB

How much protein do we need to build lean muscle? 1.5-2.0 g/kg. For example, a 200lb male needs 120-180 grams of protein daily depending on their fitness goals. https://t.co/sexmMWuTYG #athletes #weightlifting #musclegrowth #muscle #bodybuilding #weigthtraining #gym #OneTeamOneU

@LasseK19139541 @solensson Beror på som sagt vad man ska göra" Elevated protein consumption, as high as 1.8-2.0 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) depending on the caloric deficit, may be advantageous in preventing lean mass losses during periods of energy restriction to promote fat loss." https://t.co/b6aYZ6oEf8
@Yakubianpriest @Liberonscien @Cortezzamorsky @punishedFShater @PYeerk did you cut out the last part of the sentence on purpose? there is a lot of research that points to around 2.2, especially during the start of a training cycle https://t.co/me5AubL65e https://t.co/cRxyKNb99r https://t.co/DLfToLYZys

@Jbpoiuytrewq @kevinnbass So basically double the RDA https://t.co/IYMu22IOUA
@LucasMajor3 @MrAdamAp Ye, my alma mater was home to Stuart Phillips Very up to date on his literature :) https://t.co/WspwepQAMp
@jxbrown The RDA isn’t a target, it’s a minimum to avoid degenerative conditions. If you look at the data active individuals Should eat .8g per lb minimum. For body composition/ weight loss even more is beneficia & we need to lose weight https://t.co/IYMu22IOUA
@hyper_high It’s 1.6 per kilo minimum for body composition. RDAs are minimums to avoid a deficiency, they arent targets for optimal health. https://t.co/IYMu22IOUA
@CassiusRed This info is based on an old research paper I read some years back that studied protein intake and found 1.3-1.8 was the optimal amount for muscle growth. If you’re not super strict/bodybuilding then you won’t need quite as much. https://t.co/of88MD9Dqr

"When viewed from a broad perspective, athletes recovering from exercise would have to serve four ‘‘masters’’: hydration, restoration of metabolized carbohydrate, restoration/repair of damaged proteins, and remodeling proteins." https://t.co/hqb0LzqKeH
