How it works
Targets are set per kilogram of body weight: around 0.8 g for general health, 1.6 g when building muscle and up to 2.0 g when dieting to preserve lean mass.
Frequently asked questions
Can you eat too much protein?
Healthy kidneys handle high intakes well, but beyond roughly 2.2 g/kg there is no added muscle benefit.
Does timing matter?
Total daily intake matters most; spreading it across three to four meals is a small extra advantage.
