How Much More (than 1 gram/lb. bodyweight) Protien for 68 yr. old?

[Inverstone]

Glad to have you back Coach.
I'm aged 67+ and 5 ft. 11 170 lbs.
How much more protein than l gram per lb. of bodyweight is...more?
How much is generally recommended for senior citizens starting novice LP?
I tried to find specifics in Sully's book and on older posts/articles but haven't
seen a specific amount "more" listed.
Thanks!

I'd say at least 1.0-1.2 g/lb will put you in a good place. There isn't a definitive guideline on it and most guidelines for adults are either for endurance trained athletes or untrained sedentary individuals. So you won't find a good solid reference on this. I'd start there and see where it goes. If you find yourself struggling, shoot me an email and I'm happy to work with you on a more specific plan.

Thanks. I've been doing well and showing some decent muscle increase using 200 grams so I guess I won't try to fix what isn't broken.
I remember in the past, often one would read to eat the amount in grams for the weight you WANT to end up at, but of course that has been
disproven to say the least. This old guy thanks you. Really enjoyed your interviews on Barbell Logic and elsewhere.

You are very welcome. These things need not be complicated. Glad my material is helpful
