yes it is... ha take that
anyone that says different doesn't know his biochem and there is no need to argue with someone who gets all his nutritional advice from flex magazine.
The last time I checked FLEX recommands no more then a gram per pound, so if anyone here is follwing FLEX its you not me, I live in reality and if I drop my protein intake to 1 gram I can't workout as often because my muscles haven't fully recuperated in time, this is based on personal experience, my strengths also go down, I'm sorry but I can't keep my 500 pound bench at a gram per pound.
I don't recall FLEX recommending "no more than a gram per pound". The sample diets are usually based on a guy weighing 180 lbs or 200 lbs. Most of the time, 1.5 grams/lb. of bodyweight is recommended. From what I've read, that's a starting point.
I was reading a thread on ProM and alot of the dudes were saying they ate 400-600 grams a day. This sounds like bullshit to me.
