How much protein should be consumed in a day?

Answer 1

It depends on your size and caloric intake. For a 2000 calorie diet, the FDA suggests 65g of protein. For a 2500 calorie diet, it's 80g a day. This is for modestly active individuals. Bodybuilders attempting to build muscle and gain muscle mass need more- but not as much as some muscle magazines would have you believe. The absolute maximum that's been shown effective is 1.6 g of protein per kg of your lean body mass- and that's assuming intensive strength training. So a 180 pound male that's 10 percent body fat would need an absolute most of about 120 grams per day (180*.9=162 pounds of muscle/2.2=74 kg muscle*1.6= 120 grams of protein) . Look on Google scholar for "protein requirements" if you want to find out more.
Proteins : food needed for growth and repair of tissues, alos used to make enzymes.
The recommended protein intake requirement is derived from our "ideal body weight" and balanced with our overall caloric intake. If you want to be more specific and calculate your exact protein requirement 1) determine your ideal body weight, then 2) calculate your protein requirement based on your ideal weight. A good ratio of carbohydrates to fat to protein is 60-25-15. It is almost impossible to become protein deficient; however, it is easy to exceed you maximum daily protein intake requirement.

Answer 5

So protein intake of an individual really depends on a lot of aspects, starting from their age, gender, muscular exertion, muscle mass, health, etc, these variables play a major role in determining one’s protein consumption.

The recommended dietary requirement in order to not be protein deficient is around 0.8grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For example if someone weighs around 75 kgs, they need around 60 grams of protein on a daily basis, considering the individual is an average sedentary adult. However, adults who have a more active lifestyle, ones who exercise on a regular basis require around 1.1-1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. People who lift weights, or are training for a marathon or some other physically straining activity need around 1.2-1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

If an individual is overweight, they need to consult a dietitian in order to have a more personalized dietary plan that would require full body analysis in order to calculate their daily protein requirements. Protein is a macronutrient that cannot be stored in the human body as protein. Once the body’s protein needs are met, the excessive calories, from any source, get stored as fat in the body.

Once a human reaches the ages 40-50, sarcopenia, losing muscle mass due to old age, sets in. In order to prevent that and maintain a healthy, independent lifestyle, the individual's protein intake needs to increase to about 1-1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

Supplements come into play because nowadays, people have a fast paced lifestyle, which makes them lose track of protein intake. GRD is one of the top protein brands in India. They have a wide range of products, be it whey protein for kids, sugar-free protein powder, zero cholesterol protein, protein powder for diabetics and protein powder for pregnants.
