Protein - More or less?

Okay, in this it says how increased levels of protein will, in the end, allow for greater synthesis and thus, gains in muscle tissue. Basically, anyway, right?

So what's with the whole "Eating For Size, Diet/Nutrition" FAQ that says 15-20% total calories from protein is ideal?

There's too much controversey on this stuff.

I suggest you refer to one of the 300 posts on this topic. There was a good one started by Lance a little while ago.

percentages basically are a bunch of garbage in the first place, however, if you look at it in the concept it was placed in

15-20% of a high energy diet required for bulking, will provide the ~1.8g/kg area that is recommeneded from the research.

So basically, still 0.8-1.0g/lb. roughly.

Is there a GOOD reason why they don't adopt the metric system?
