I know you want to roughly intake 0.8 to 1.0 grams per pound of weight for protein. Ideally if you want to lose weight/body fat are you suppose to take in your ideal body weight amount of protein or your current weight. Also how do you maintain your protein intake while staying in a calorie deficit?
From what I understand your body takes energy from carbs, then fats, then proteins. You don’t have to take in maximal protein to gain muscle you just need to rest long enough for repairs to take place for your protein intake level. Someone with optimal protein intake would take the least amount of days to recover from a similar injury to someone who’s “not getting enough.” You can store something like 4400 calories from carbs in advance. If you want to lost weight you should be on a carb deficit and still eat fats and protein. If you’re doing competitive strength training that’s the only reason to hit maximal macro needs because your running through your stores on the daily.
