Your body needs protein daily to fuel its critical processes!
Protein is not only a critical component of muscle growth but also critical for maintaining proper weight and controlling appetite. The proteins in our bodies are constantly being broken down or used as fuel during our daily activities. This requires us to constantly repair and replace these proteins with amino acids from our diets that link together to form new proteins in our bodies. This protein synthesis is what builds stronger muscles!
To determine how much protein you need daily, multiple your weight in kilograms by the number below based on your age:
- • Under 50: 0.8 g x your weight
- • Over 50: 1 g x your weight
- • Strength or endurance training: 1.1-1.5 g x your weight
Using that number, compare your daily intake of protein from diet alone to determine how much additional protein your body needs.
