So I currently stick to a bulking diet of 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fat. This is going great and all but I do struggle to meet my calorie goal of 3000 sometimes and have started to wonder if maybe I'm overeating sometimes or whatever.
I have read in multiple places that you should stick to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, which is quite an easy accomplishment for me, weighing only around 140 something pounds. But if I were to do 30% of 3000, that gives me 225g of protein needed. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Surely macro percentages are top priority? But then many sources say 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight is fine. What should I follow?
