Low protein intake

Hi team

I currently weigh 70kg, 6ft male. Training constantly 4 times a week.

I try to get 120-140g of protein a day… but I don’t really like any protein source or protein shakes. So if I don’t worry about protein intake I probably have around 80g a day, but I find it much better for my mental health and stress levels to not worry about the protein intake.

Would I be seriously damaging my gains on 80g of protein a day? Or can a reasonable amount of muscle mass gains be made with such a low protein intake?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yes, you will most likely have far less muscle and strength gain on this level of protein per day. I would keep searching for a protein source you like.
