I assume you are at least 200 lbs. So at 450 grams of protein per day, you are certainly eating at a level of a power lifter/body-builder. You are well outside of the "average person" group to which I referred. I am also not sure that all but a handful of folk on this board would benefit from that level of protein intake simply because, contrary to whatever, they may believe, their lifting is just not at that level.

That really depends. How big you are, how your body processes nutrients, and what you eat along with the protein.

For example, if you're eating your protein with fiber and fat, then this slows down the digestion of your food and it's likely you won't waste protein even if eating double that amount. However, if you're drinking 3 scoops of whey, then most of that will be wasted.

so what would happen to a guy who is on a calorie defieciency that still loads up on protein as if he's trying to get muscle?

That is about all that Herschel Walker ever did.
Sprints uphill. Push ups. Situps. Squats.
Add in Pullups and it will get the job pretty well.
He did do a very large volume though.

Not really. A small can of salmon or tuna is 30-40g of protein. A medium-size steak has around 70g.

+1

130g of protein doesn't mean supplementing that much. It isn't difficult to get that much in without whey.

Remember that "per pound" means per pound of lean body weight. A 300 lb person trying to get down to 175 lb and 8% body fat would eat about 160g of protein (175 x .92) daily while weight lifting.

The small cans, or foil bags, of tuna are about 16 g.

You must be thinking of the slightly larger can, which requires a can opener to open. It's definently is 32+ grams.

Yup, those are what I was referring to. Thanks for the clarification.
