You can literally ask this question to ten different “experts” and get ten different (and often contradictory) answers. For example, a bodybuilder may tell you to eat two or more grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. A fitness enthusiast will argue that one-gram per pound is more than enough. And research has shown that one half of a gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight is adequate for muscle building.
