**REMEMBER** protein shakes are not an enchantment muscle pill. What's more, not at all like steroids, they have no immediate impact on your hormones. The figures that i have included are for those who exercise and workout. It will be different for those who dont and i will talk about that in another post.

**Bulking**
During a bulk, you must consume around 1g (estimate) of protein per pound of bodyweight(lets just talk about the overall weight which is shown on a scale). To keep this post simple as possible we will not get into too much depth(for now) about calculating body fat and lean muscle.

An example of this would be that if a person is 180lb, they would consume around(again this is only an estimate) 180g of protein or slightly more, in order to see the best results. Also make sure to spread out the consumption throughout the day rather than taking it all in at once(trust me you would not feel good).

During a workout, muscle is broken down into microscopic tears and your body later will require enough protein, carbohydrate and healthy fats to build and repair the damage so that it grows back thicker and stronger than before.

**Cutting**
During a cut(getting shredded/losing fat), a person would need to gradually increase their protein intake as they get leaner. For the reason that their body is eating them ALIVE during a caloric deficit, this is where the rate of tissue breakdown rises above the rate of tissue growth which results in the loss of fat which makes you get leaner. When this happens, the body tends to lose far more protein than it retains, therefore it requires extra protein in order for it to maintain muscle mass.

For those of you who are thinking "how much protein should i consume while on a cut?". Well this really comes down to how much your calorie intake has been reduced during the cut when you came off the bulk. For example, a person whos caloric intake was 3000 during a bulk and 2700 during a cut, would need to consume less protein than someone who used to eat/drink 3000 calories during a bulk and 2500 during a cut ( do you understand what i mean?) . This shows that the first person reduced 300 calories and the second person reduced 500 calories therefore in order to make up for the extra caloric reduction the second person would consume more than the first person. **GUIDELINE** - consume around 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Finally i would end this topic by stating that kidney stones can be developed **IF YOU CONSUME TOO MUCH** and you dont train or exercise. However, on the other hand, 200g of protein for an individual who trains in high intensity workouts and wants to build muscle mass would NOT harm them, it may well benefit them instead. Also make sure to drink atleast a gallon of fluid/water everyday to flush out bad toxins.

This is a response to @galactictoast hope this makes more sense, thankyou for your previous comment. To all my lovely steemians, If you agree with me please give this post a **UPVOTE** AND **FOLLOW** ME FOR MORE.
