💪 How Much Protein Do You REALLY Need?
Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders it’s essential for muscle repair, fat loss, and overall health. But how much should you actually be eating? 👇
🔹 General health:
👉 ~0.8g per kg of bodyweight
🔹 Active / training regularly:
👉 1.2 – 2.0g per kg
🔹 Building muscle / fat loss:
👉 1.6 – 2.2g per kg
📌 Example:
If you weigh 70kg and train regularly:
➡️ You should aim for roughly 110–150g of protein per day
⚠️ Common mistake:
Not eating enough protein = slower progress, poor recovery, and muscle loss
🥩 Good protein sources:
Chicken, eggs, fish, lean beef, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, tofu
✅ Pro tip:
Spread your protein across the day (3–5 meals) for better absorption and muscle growth
🔥 Bottom line:
If you want results in the gym, your protein intake matters just as much as your workouts
