How much protein do you need ? Fat ? etc

Before we actually answer the almighty grams of protein per day question, let’s first quickly recap why the hell you should care about it in the first place.

For starters, eating enough protein daily is an absolute requirement for the growth, repair or function of organs, bones, hair, skin, and of course… MUSCLE!

Your body needs a sufficient amount of protein each day in order for it to build any amount muscle. Plus, it’s also the #1 dietary requirement for maintaining muscle while losing fat. People always say they want to “lose weight,” but what they really want to do is lose fat… not muscle. How many grams of protein you eat per day is key in making sure that happens properly.

In addition to these benefits, there are many other important reasons why your protein intake plays such an important role in your ability to improve the way your body looks or performs. My article about the high protein diet explains all of them in detail.

Now that we’ve covered the basics of why you need it, it’s time to get down to how much of it you actually need.

This answer depends on a few different factors. Are you inactive or active? Do you work out or not? What type of workouts are you doing (weight lifting, cardio, etc.)? What are your goals (build muscle, lose fat, etc.)? Are you male or female? How much do you weigh? And more.

So, here’s the daily protein recommendations you need to know:

If you do NOT workout and do NOT have any real diet or fitness related goal (like building muscle, losing fat, etc.), you should eat between 0.5-0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. This is what most consider to be the ideal minimum protein intake for overall health and function for the average healthy adult. If you DO workout and you DO have some type of diet or fitness related goal (like building muscle, losing fat, etc.), you should eat between 0.8-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. This is what most consider to be the ideal protein intake range for healthy adults who exercise regularly and are trying to improve their body in some way. So, to figure out how much you need, just take your current body weight (in pounds) and multiply it by the recommended range to figure out your ideal daily intake.

Surprisingly, the most common recommendations for how much protein you should eat per day when you’re trying to improve your body don’t typically vary by too much and instead tend to fall within a similar range. Average healthy sedentary adult (male or female) that does NOT work out or have any related goals. This is just what I consider to be a good minimum daily protein intake for general health/function. 0.5-0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Average healthy adult (male or female) that IS doing some form of exercise regularly or IS trying to improve their body (lose fat, build muscle, etc.). This is the minimum I’d recommend in this case. 0.8-1 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
