📐 Formula
Daily Protein (g) = Weight (kg) × Activity Factor (g/kg)
Activity Factor: Sedentary 0.8 / Light 1.0 / Moderate 1.2 / Intense 1.6 / Athlete 2.0💡 How It Works
- •Protein is a fundamental building block for muscles, skin, hormones, and enzymes.
- •Adults need at least 0.8g/kg of protein, increasing with exercise levels.
- •For muscle building, 1.6-2.2g/kg is recommended; for weight loss, 1.2-1.6g/kg helps preserve muscle.
- •1 gram of protein provides 4kcal of energy.
- •20-40g of protein per meal is optimal for muscle protein synthesis.
- •Leucine-rich foods (whey, eggs, chicken) are more effective for muscle building.
❓ FAQ
Q. How much protein should I eat daily?
A. General adults need 0.8-1.0g per kg of body weight. Active individuals need 1.2-2.0g/kg. For muscle building, up to 1.6-2.2g/kg is recommended.
Q. Can eating too much protein be harmful?
A. For healthy individuals, up to 2.0g/kg is safe. However, those with kidney issues should consult a doctor. Excess intake may lead to calorie surplus.
Q. Can I eat all my protein in one meal?
A. Research shows 20-40g per meal is optimal for muscle synthesis. While more can be absorbed, distributing across meals is more efficient.
Q. When should I eat protein after exercise?
A. Within 30 minutes to 2 hours post-workout is ideal, but total daily intake matters more. Consistent intake is key over timing.
Q. How can vegetarians get enough protein?
