Protein intake suggestion for large people

[Sam Abraham]

Hi Joe! How do you recommend a larger individual to calculate an appropriate protein intake? Should they use lbm or bw? And is there a rough formula to calculate it? 1g/1lb bw seems to be the common advice, but I’ve heard something in the range of 1.2 x 1lb lbm is better.

Here is an example stats of the individual.

E.G. 225lb male, 5’10 and > 30% bf
