Kid #1: 6' 3", 160 lbs, very skinny, almost invisible from the side.
Kid #2: 5' 10", 190 lbs, has muscles but lots of babyfat too.
Kid #3: 5' 11", 165 lbs, very lean and ripped.
All 3 want to get to 200lbs. All 3 need to consume 200g of protein per day?
Right?
Edit to ask also: Do Kids #1 and #2 need to consume just 170g per day, as they need to get to 170lbs before they can get to 200 lbs?
There are many ways to get to 200 lbs, but my approach for any of your example kids (I'm assuming they are just made up examples?) would not include eating 200 grams of protein per day.
I would stick with 0.8 to 1.0 gram of protein per pound of CURRENT bodyweight, not what you want your bodyweight to be. So the amount of protein per day will naturally go up as weight goes up.
Just my initial thoughts, there's more than 1 way to skin a cat.
OK that makes sense and I'm also guessing that's what Joe meant. As for these examples, they are common types, but #3 is exactly my 2017. It's harder for him eat more than is to get to the gym.
