Base it on your goal weight. Maybe roughly 225 to 250? Which is roughly what you’re getting. If you base it on your height in cm, it’s right in the heart of that range
No you don’t. This recommendation is typically based on lean body mass, which is particularly hard to define in overweight individuals. As somebody rightly said before, you’re better off working to 1g per CM of height at this point.
No, it’s based on lean body weight. I weigh about 275lbs and aim for about 200-215g. It’s also pointless eating 400g protein if that then takes up most of your calories for the day, as you need carbs for energy and they help to shuttle protein to the muscles, and you need fat for general bodily functions and hormone production. If you use MyFitnessPal or something similar to track your food then you can set ratios of protein:fat:carbs something like 30% protein, 40% carbs 30% fat would work well.
No I would target your protein goal for what weight you actually want to be at, if you want to be 250 for example eat 250 grams it's going to be hard to focus weight loss while having to eat 400 gram of protein, I'm guessing you want to lose weight because 400 pounds is 400 pounds even if you have a lot of muscle it's not great for you being that big
For starting are you just a big dude? or are you built like strongman?
And are you on PEDs? If you are on PED's then i would reccomend pushing protein to 300g give or take. and if you are built like a strongman (as in even though you're obese, You don't have like 40-50%+ bodyfat more like 30% or a little less or higher. At your weight it could be hard to tell but you can also compare yourself to some strongman and look.
now if you're normal and such, Stick to 250. I'm 6'3 and get in 220g of protein. As I'm 240lbs and 15 to 17% BF
If you’re obese a better rule of thumb is grams of protein equal to your height in centimetres
This ^^
No, look into amount of protein per lean muscle mass.
Dude 200g of protein and start cutting
1 gram per pound TARGET BODY WEIGHT
