The amount of protein you need per day depends on your age, weight, activity level, and fitness goals (like fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance).
🔹 General Recommendations
Sedentary adults (not very active): ~0.8 g per kg of body weight
Active adults / regular exercisers: 1.2 – 2.0 g per kg of body weight
Strength training / muscle building: 1.6 – 2.2 g per kg
Fat loss while keeping muscle: 1.8 – 2.5 g per kg
Example
If you weigh 70 kg (154 lbs):
Sedentary: ~56 g protein/day
Active / fitness: 85 – 140 g/day
Muscle building or fat loss: 110 – 175 g/day
Practical Notes
Spread protein intake across meals for better absorption.
High-quality sources: chicken, fish, eggs, beans, lentils, Greek yogurt, protein shakes.
Too much protein isn’t harmful for healthy kidneys, but balance it with carbs and fats for energy.
👉 A good rule of thumb for fitness is:
~1.6–2.0 g per kg of body weight daily (or ~0.7–1 g per pound).
