Most literature shows between .7-.82 g/lb but what we have to realize about research is study group. Most study groups aren’t pushing the boundaries and really putting on a ton of tissue.

I have my clients at 1-1.3 g/lb depending on status lifting and if PEDs are used. Exception to this is VERY obese people to which i go 1g/lb of LEAN mass

1g/lb is an easy metric to follow. Scientifically there is minimal benefit above 0.65g/lb, so anywhere between those is fine.

Make sure you are progressively overloading your lifts (incremental weight / set / rep increases) along with the protein. But you will gain some fat unless you have chemical “help”.

like

Eat a gram for every pound you weigh. I’d start there…

Okay

The only way to gain muscle mass without gaining fat is through using some type of PED. If you gain weight, naturally some of it will be fat, but it doesn't mean you will become fat.

You should be eating 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. You can eat slightly over your caloric maintenance (500 cals over), to avoid significant fat gain, and you will slowly add mass.

How tall are you btw?

1 g per pound of bodyweight so 200g per day. 0.3g per pound of body weight for minimal fat intake. Fill the rest with carbs. Seeing you’re going to want to do this naturally, you’re going to have some fat accumulation but best way to counter that is to have more frequent smaller meals in order to stave off bloat and improve digestion. 3 and 4 meals per day is a little too much volume so I like to keep it anywhere between 5 and 6 meals per day.

I told my doctor and she didn’t offer much advice other than staying hydrated and following the protocol.
