Protein = the foundation of muscle growth and recovery. π₯©π₯
Your body needs enough protein to repair, rebuild, and strengthen after every workout.
π‘ It is also important to have sufficient protein intake during weight loss as it helps preserve lean muscle, boost fat burning, and keeps you satisfied longer.
So you lose fat! Not strength! βοΈπ₯
πͺHow much protein do you need?
For general health: 0.8g per kg of body weight
For active or training individuals: 1.2β2.0g per kg of body weight
Example: If you weigh 50kg, you need 50-120g of protein daily to maintain basic health or support muscle recovery and growth.
π€° Pregnant women need extra protein to support the growth of the baby, placenta, and maternal tissues.
π΅ Older adults require more protein to maintain muscle mass, strength, and recovery as muscle naturally declines with age.
Fuel your muscles right β every gram counts! πͺβ¨
