Thread: Protein per day - fixed number?

Hi,

I have concluded my first bulk/cut cycle. Did not get as lean as I hoped however, I know where I failed. That being said, I have never been this lean, weighing that same now as I did before the bulk.

Now that I will be increasing calories again, I am trying to get a better understanding on the macros that one should consume. Most sources suggest a range based on body weight.
How important is it that you stick to a fixed number as long as one stays within the range?

Also, how fast is recommended reversed dieting speed?

Fairly important. .7 grams of protein per pound of lean body weight per day.
Not very fast, about an extra 200 calories per day above your requirements.

But is it okey if I hit the lower recommended amount one day and the upper range another?

What I meant with how fast to reverse diet was how fast should I increase? 100 cals/week? I am planning to up approx 600 in total.
