    Grams of Protein/per body weight when on TRT?

    Sorry guys/gals, I tried a search on the forum, googled it, couldn't get consistent numbers. Prior to and after starting TRT, I've been getting my protein in at approximately 30 grams, 6 times per day, just below my body weight. When on TRT are members going up to 1.5 grams of protein per pound or even more? Thanks!

    My weight has climbed to 190 after the HRT, and it really appears to be all muscle gained, no fat - I'm impressed (at least I am - I'm a hard gainer), that's 8 pounds in 3 months. BTW, 57 years old.

    My goal is defined muscle. Currently at around 15%, would like to whittle that down to 8 - 10%. So far I think the Sermorelin is helping and have been told/read that it really doesn't kick in till months 3-6. I'm only at 1 month now, can't wait.

    Diet is clean, with lean protein, lots of vegetables & healthy fat (don't have a percentage break-down of each though). I've been Paleo for a year and just recently have been adding a little whole grain bread a little at a time to monitor changes.

    some will tell you to eat 1.5 per lb you weight but since your 15 % and wanting to cut 180 grams looks good to me. At the end of the day nutrition is math. Once you get a regiment down and your eating the same amount if food every day adjustments become easy. Eat more and gain eat less and loose. The biggest challenge for most people is staying consistent with the same amount of food each day

    I would agree with Bio, just keep the same amount you intake now. The goal is to find the minimum required dose to get the maximum effects. More protein intake does not equate to more muscle protein synthesis. If you are making gains and seeing consistent results then stick with it. Once you notice a lag then re-adjust. Even so that adjustment would be minimal and not necessarily a move from 1g to 1.5.
