💪 HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO YOU NEED EVERY DAY?
Your protein needs depend on your body weight, activity level, and fitness goals.
🔹 General Health / Less Active
👉 0.36–0.45 g per lb of body weight
🔹 Regularly Active
👉 0.55–0.73 g per lb
🔹 Building Muscle 💪
👉 0.73–1.0 g per lb
🔹 Losing Fat & Maintaining Muscle
👉 0.73–1.0 g per lb
📌 Example:
If you weigh 165 lb and your goal is to build muscle, aim for approximately:
120–165 g of protein per day.
🥩 Easy Formula:
Your weight in pounds × your protein target = grams of protein per day
Getting enough protein, combined with proper resistance training, adequate calories, and good recovery, can help you build and maintain lean muscle.
