once you are at 60-65% of calories from protein....


I’m 160 lbs and eating about 2,700 calories a day trying to gain. That would be about 350g of protein.

That's easy, just do a KFC "double-down" style steak sandwich with chicken breasts for the bun instead of bread. 3 a day. Chicken fries instead of real potato fries...and move yourself into the garden shed to spare your family the toxic fumes. It can be done!

i didnt say when trying to gain lol

no need for protein leveraging of thermo effect of food(TEF) if trying to gain

dont get me wrong...eat 3 lbs of meat and a big protein shake and yea you will gain more than you thought possible but not needed like when cutting

but you will never need 2x bw ever no matter what even dante in his straight up bodybuilding days didnt want his guys eating more than that unless on massive doses of PED.
