Why Protein Matters
Protein is essential for building and repairing muscle tissue, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. It is also the most satiating macronutrient — high-protein diets are consistently shown to reduce hunger and support fat loss while preserving muscle mass.
Recommended Daily Protein Intake
| Goal / Activity Level | Protein per kg BW | Protein per lb BW |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary adult (minimum) | 0.8 g/kg | 0.36 g/lb |
| General fitness / active | 1.2–1.6 g/kg | 0.55–0.73 g/lb |
| Endurance athletes | 1.4–1.7 g/kg | 0.64–0.77 g/lb |
| Strength / muscle building | 1.6–2.2 g/kg | 0.73–1.0 g/lb |
| Weight loss (muscle preservation) | 1.8–2.7 g/kg | 0.82–1.23 g/lb |
Best Protein Sources
- Animal sources: Chicken breast (31g/100g), tuna (30g/100g), eggs (13g/100g), Greek yogurt (10g/100g)
- Plant sources: Tofu (17g/100g), lentils (9g/100g), chickpeas (9g/100g), edamame (11g/100g)
- Supplements: Whey protein (~25g per scoop), casein, pea protein
Distributing Protein Across Meals
Research shows that muscle protein synthesis is optimized by distributing protein evenly across 3–4 meals of 25–40g each, rather than eating most protein in one meal. The body can only utilize ~40g of protein at once for muscle building.
