• There is normally no advantage to consuming more than 0.82g/lb (1.8g/kg) of protein per day to preserve or build muscle for natural trainees. This already includes a mark-up, since most research finds no more benefits after 0.64g/lb.
• Optimal protein intake decreases with training age, because your body becomes more efficient at preventing protein breakdown resulting from training and less protein is needed for the increasingly smaller amount of muscle that is built after each training session.

That was an interesting study. For me, just because I lift weights, does not make me a 'bodybuilder' :) In fact, it is an 'insult' to bodybuilders for me to even think that! Haha! So whatever protein levels are recommended for 'real bodybuilders' I need to have LESS :)

Yes, interesting stuff and it's hard to distinguish who is a "bodybuilder". One lifting session per week? Three? But I think they're saying the person that has more room for muscle growth requires more protein to build muscle, where as the seasoned lifter doesn't need as much since they're already close to their potential muscle mass. Of course, unless they're juicin' 😁💪🏻I like the part where they say the only protein sparing macro is protein. Makes sense..
