Protein on cycle?

[Archangel.]

How much protein do you REALLY need on cycle? I have read so many conflicting opinions on this, and I would like to get the honest input of a few seasoned cyclers. I'm 180 @ 15% bf, and my lifestyle right now is VERY sedentary. The only physical activity is my workouts 4 times a week.

1.5g's of protein per lb you are

If you're bulking on cycle and getting an excess of carbs, 1.5 gram per lb of bodyweight is enough. If you were cutting, I would get 2 grams per lb.

Are you saying per every pound I weigh OR every LEAN pound I weigh? There's no reason to count the fat in is there? I'm like 15% BF

Every pound you weigh.

Minimum 180 g protein per day.

Around 250 would be best.

For every lb you weigh, so you should be getting 270 grams on cycle bulking or 360 cutting.
