How much protein should I consume?Updated 8 months ago

There are quite a few factors that may influence optimal protein intakes, such as activity levels, body composition, caloric intake, and macronutrient composition.

• Generally speaking, we recommend shooting for roughly 0.75 ndash; 1.0 grams of protein per pound (g/lb/day) of bodyweight per day. For example, a 150-pound individual, whose goal is to be healthy and active, lose a bit of fat, and add some muscle, should consume between 112.5 ndash; 150 grams of high-quality protein per day.

• If you have more than 20 pounds to lose, you can base your protein intake on yournbsp;target weight. For example, if yoursquo;re 200 pounds and are looking to lose 30 pounds (target weight = 170), then 127.5 ndash; 170g of protein per day may be a good starting point.
