How Much Protein Should We Be Eating

By Pierra Kierra

Recently with the advent of whey protein, taking extra protein has become something of a fad. Its fine for bodybuilders and those who work out regularly. But this does lead to the question of how much protein should be consumed each day. The actual figure varies from person to person since factors such as individual body weight and actual diet can change the required intake.

A lot of excess protein can also ruin your appetite and disrupt your digestive system. Extra protein doesnt have any real side effects but you can cause some damage to your kidneys when you do so in order to avoid this happening, drink a lot of excess water which should help them deal with the extra protein in your system.

How much protein should I eat if I work out regularly?

For a person who works out at least three times a week, the recommendation is to consume one gram of protein for every pound of body weight. So in the case of a 135 pound man, he has to eat that exact same amount in protein each and every day. For a person who doesnt workout, the story is much simpler, just consume 35% of your daily calorie intake in protein.

What quantity of protein should i be eating when im on a diet?

As mentioned before, just stick to the 35% mark of your daily intake. If you are on a 1500 calorie diet for example, then you need to have roughly 550 calories from protein. For person on a 1500 calorie diet, that is simply just over a hundred grams of protein. - 17268
