Protein Power
Eating sufficient protein is crucial for preserving lean muscle while losing fat. Aiming for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight can help maintain fullness and facilitate a calorie deficit. For those with significant weight to lose, adjusting protein intake based on goal weight or lean mass is key. Incorporating more fruits and vegetables enhances nutrient intake and satiety, while regular walking can significantly boost overall activity levels.In this clip

In Phase 2 of the mini-cut for the episode How to USE FASTING to Build Muscle, BURN FAT & Improve Your Quality of Life | Mind Pump 1896 and the clip Breaking Through Plateaus, it says to eat protein equal to your body weight to preserve muscle mass and ensure muscle repair. Should I be eating protein equal to my current body weight or my goal body weight? For example, I'm currently 215 lbs and have at least 40 lbs to lose, and I'm a 5'6" female with a 37% body fat percentage. Should I be eating 215g of protein (current weight) or 170g (goal weight) of protein during the cut?
If I want to start consuming 0.8 grams of protein per pound and I weigh 145 lbs, that would be 116 grams of protein daily. Since I am trying to burn fat and build strength and muscle, I am concerned about increasing my caloric intake. How do I make sure I get enough protein while maintaining a nutrient-dense diet, along with some caloric restriction?
