How much protein do I really need?

Protein is the building block of life. It’s essential for repairing tissue, making enzymes/hormones, and specifically for building muscle.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is a modest 0.8g per kg of bodyweight, but this is merely to prevent deficiency in sedentary people. Athletes and those looking to improve their physique need significantly more.

  • Sedentary Adults: 0.8 - 1.0g per kg
  • Endurance Athletes: 1.2 - 1.4g per kg
  • Strength Athletes / Muscle Building: 1.6 - 2.2g per kg
