No, that's not what I said. If you eat 200g of protein and nothing else your muscles will atrophy regardless. Protein "deficiency" is not a real thing for anyone eating sufficient Calories. It's really energy malnourishment.
>you have no aminoacids to rebuild them with
What diet are you eating that has less than 50g of protein per day?

That isn't the point, the point is that anon said that protein don't matter as long as there is energy, which is obviously wrong and what I am arguing against.

So tell me what diet you can formulate that is sufficient in energy, but insufficient in protein.

White rice, 100g cooked contains:
Calories: 130
Fat 0.3g
Carb: 28g
Protein: 2.7g
2000 Calories of boiled White rice contains:
Fat: 4g
Carb: 430g
Protein: 41.5g
2000 Calories of broccoli, boiled and drained, contains:
Fat: 22g
Carb: 400g
Protein: 137g
Not him but what you should be saying is that you believe in practice, protein deficiency is extremely rare/unheard of because the levels you need are so low they're almost always going to be hit
Saying that there's 'no such thing as protein deficiency' is idiotic because it's literally been documented, but saying that it's rare and unlikely to come about unless specifically formulating a diet to do so is clearly the actual point behind your hyperbole
>Saying that there's 'no such thing as protein deficiency' is idiotic because it's literally been documented
No it hasn't. Even in a diet with 50% of the calories from white rice and the other 50% from fruit juice, no negative effects were observed.

nta but its more common than you think particularly in older people for whom the protein RDA is way too low and will lead to sarcopenia
According to this and based on average heights average American men have a BMI of 28.9 on the verge of obesity. American women are even closer with a BMI of 29.8. Yet men are always portrayed as being fatter. >Dad bod >Beer belly >fat dads on sitcoms
I'm 169 lbs. Aiming for 150.
fixed numbers
For anyone confused, this protein level is to avoid deficiencies in normal non-lifters, not to maximize muscle gains in lifters.
There's no such thing as protein deficiency.
So if i eat 0 protein i'll be in perfect health and my muscles won't atrophy? moron

What happens when muscles get damaged and you have no aminoacids to rebuild them with?
Are you fatter than a 5th grader?
What?
