Is 225g Protein Overkill or Just Right for Cutting?

Depends on bodyweight; lighter lifters may need less.

Higher protein helps satiety when calories drop hard.

For heavy training, 225 actually feels just right.

Overkill if you’re small, perfect if you’re bigger.

Hitting target easier with shakes during cutting phases

Too much protein sometimes reduces energy for lifting.

Works great for me, keeps hunger completely controlled.

Might be excessive unless training volume is high.

Extra protein often helps maintain muscle while dieting.

If digestion comfortable, 225 usually totally fine.

Some lifters perform better around moderate protein instead.

Depends how lean you are entering the cut.

More isn’t always better; find your personal sweet-spot.

Try adjusting gradually instead of jumping protein drastically.
