How Much Protein Should We Be Eating
Thanks to rise of whey protein, extra protein consumption has become very popular. Bodybuilders have been taking extra protein for a long time now but it was never really this easy and painless to get so much protein into your system at will. But that begs the question, what quantity of protein should we eat each day? The answer depends on your body mass and diet but it can still be calculated easily.
Be aware of the fact that too many proteins can disrupt your digestion and can even cause aversion towards meat or other protein food or even provoke a lack of appetite. Too many proteins can lead to dehydration and also damage the kidneys. If you decide to eat a lot of proteins, make sure you drink a lot of water.
How much protein should I eat if I work out regularly?
In order to find out how much protein you need, just calculate it based on your recommended calorie intake for the day. The story is different if you workout at least three times a week and are trying to build muscle mass. In that case just simply consume 1g of protein for 1lb of your body mass. So a person who is 135lb should consume about 135g of protein each day.
How much should i eat if im just dieting?
Since you are not working out stick to the 35% of your daily calorie intake we previously mentioned and just limit your protein consumption to that. Any excess protein will just go out as waste.
