Came here hoping I could find some answers.
I have recently lost about 50 lbs and am working on gaining muscle. I work out with dumbbells, kettlebells and bands. I have stage 3 chronic kidney disease and only one kidney. My nutritionist said I can have about 70-75 grams of protein/day. I am not allowed to take protein powder or powdered creatine or other supplements. I am 5' 10 1/2" and weigh 150lbs.
I read that to gain muscle you should consume about 1 gram protein/lb of bodyweight per day and take creatine as well. So what are my options on trying to gain muscle?
Thank you
