@jacobzemer: How much protein should you be having per day❓ If you’re a person who works out occasionally (2-3x per week) you should be at a minimum be having 0.36 grams of protein per pound you weigh per day. So if you weigh 150lbs, that’s 55 grams of protein per day. However, most of you following me work out on a regular basis (3-5x per week) and are trying to achieve your goals. Here’s a study that says 0.8 grams of protein per pound you weigh is optimal for building muscle mass. So if I weighed 150lbs, that would be 120 grams of protein per day. If you’re someone like myself who really trains hard, I would be looking to have 1g of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. For me, I weigh 240lbs so that would be 220 grams of protein. The best way to measure lean muscle mass would be with a DEXA scan, if that’s not available to you stick to 0.8 grams per pound. Certain people have trouble digesting high protein diets, particularly I see this issue with smaller people and women who are in a caloric deficit. It’s okay to fall back to something like 0.6 grams of protein per pound if you’re struggling to have bowel movements. Remember, fiber will help with this. #protein #muscle #musclebuilding #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthyeating #healthyeatinghabits #healthyeatingtips #trackingmacros #macrocounting #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #caloriesincaloriesout #weightloss #weightlosstips #performancecoach #personaltrainer #nyctrainer #nycfitnesstrainer #nycfitfam
