How reliable is the tdee calculator? According to the site I have to eat 200g protein per day when bulking. Is that roughly correct? https://tdeecalculator.net

Unless you're on steroids or are over 100kg, that's vastly overshooting how much protein your body can make use of. Excess protein is simply converted into energy no different than carbs.

Natural lifters don't benefit from more than 1.6(+0. 2) g/kg, bulking doesn't change that.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
