Waist Circumference Protein Adequacy
Waist circumference protein adequacy preserves muscle during fat loss so waist tape reflects fat loss—typically 1.6–2.2 g/kg with resistance training.
Waist circumference protein adequacy means hitting roughly 1. 6 to 2.
2 grams per kilogram body weight daily during fat loss—preserving lean mass so tape shrinks from fat, not muscle waste. Low protein cuts often drop scale fast while waist stalls and strength falls.
Distribute protein across meals with resistance training.
