Protein Intake Confusion Are Beginners Overdoing It in 2025

[Richard456…]

I hear everything from 0.7g per lb to 1.5g per lb For someone just starting is more really better or is consistency more important than chasing extreme numbers

[Robert>^<]

Most beginners are overthinking it Hitting protein consistently every day mattered way more for me than exact numbers

[Eleanor$$!!23]

I tried super high protein at first and it didn’t change much Once I hit around 0.7–0.8g per lb regularly results were fine

[Kenneth~!]

Consistency beats extremes Missing protein some days and overdoing it others didn’t help me at all

[Ava643ffjj]

Eating enough calories overall mattered more than pushing protein super high When calories were too low progress stalled

[Henry753gg]

High protein won’t fix bad training or poor sleep I learned that the hard way

[Evelyn$$rr]

For beginners simple rules work best Eat protein at each meal and don’t stress the math too much

[Theodore%tt]

I think social media made protein numbers crazy Beginners grow fine without eating like a pro bodybuilder

[Elijahrrjjll]

Once I stopped chasing exact grams and focused on normal meals with protein it became easier to stay consistent
