I wonder what he actually meant. 1g/kg maybe? That would be 125% of the RDA, which I don’t know if it’s a good idea but it’s certainly more reasonable than…that.

So I did a quick number crunch on this: To get to about 75kg of protein per day, let’s say you only eat lean turkey and drink protein shakes, you’d need 200kg of turkey and 200L of protein shake.
You could probably make this intake more efficient, but however it goes in, I don’t think my body would like me eating 370,000 calories per day.

A common, reasonably evidence based, protein target for bodybuilding is 1-2 g/kg, with the cursed unit of 1g/lb being about the upper limit of what’s useful. That’s probably what this post is referencing.

But eating 370,000 calories per day WOULD change your body drasticall.

You’re not wrong! I could probably eat 365,000 less calories and still drastically change my body.

5 kcal per day would change your body drastically? Oof.

I think the above poster meant 370,000 kcal so it’s a 5 Mcal difference

Hey, I don’t do macros, it’s all about nanonutrition these days.
