How much protein do we need? Is too much protein a problem? What are good sources of protein?
Good article. Please also point out that the protein recommendation is based on your lean body mass not your weight.
If you weigh 600lbs you do not need 163 grams of protein a day ! ( if my math is correct that would be 0.6 grams per kilo )
Otherwise an excellent piece.
Thank you, Kevin. It seems the sources I found based the recommendation on total body weight. Though the most DGA report linked below has it listed as 10-35% of daily calorie needs.
