Question How Much Protein????

Just wondering, I weigh about 310lbs, getting ready to start my diet in the upcoming week I am going to try and trim down to around 275 as my first goal, I have read that you should take in approximately 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight to support muscle mass. But does this mean that I should be shooting for 310 grams or more towards the 275 grams, I do a lot of weight lifting but I have never really monitored my protein intake or anything like that. Just wondering because if I'm going to diet and continue with the weight lifting I might as well do it right!!!!!!!!! any insight would be helpful

That is alot of protien. Your kidneys will hate you for it. At 310 pounds you are really asking alot of your overtaxxed body.

If you have what it take to lose the weigh you will lose some muscle mass.
