Ah yeah there seems to be a confusion about the numbers and whether or not they are based on lean mass or BW. I didn't pick up on that you wrote lean mass in regards to bulking, and BW in regards to cutting. There's also the the matter of g/kg with g/lbs which is two very different things. Not saying you were inconsistent, just that most of the literature bases recommedation on g/kg of BW.
Yeah 180-190g sounds kinda reasonable, but still like a lot. A new meta-analysis from the BJSM found the additional benefit of protein on FFM plateaud from 1,03 to 2,2 g/kg during RET and suggested an average of 1,6 g/kg which would be around 150g of protein for me daily (
