assertion
Analysis v1
You don’t need a lot of protein to build muscle—just 0.7 grams per pound of body weight is enough to grow as much muscle as possible.
Scientific Claim
Protein intake at 0.7 grams per pound of body weight is sufficient to maximize muscle protein synthesis in non-elite, non-lean individuals undergoing resistance training.
Original Statement
“If you take your body weight in pounds and you multiply it by 0.7, that's already enough to maximize your gains, which gives Dayton more room for carbs to fuel his workouts.”
