We present predictions for total multiplicities and single inclusive particle production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC. The main dynamical input in our calculations is the use of solutions of the running coupling BK equation tested in e+p data. We use a Monte-Carlo treatment of the nuclear geometry and either $k_t$-factorization or the hybrid formalisms to describe particle production in the central and forward rapidity regions, respectively.
