About Protein Intake
Protein is essential for muscle maintenance, growth, and recovery. Your recommended intake is based on your body weight, activity level, and fitness goals. For optimal results, distribute your protein intake evenly throughout the day. Remember that these are general guidelines, and individual needs may vary based on factors like age, medical conditions, and specific training programs.
Choosing the Right Protein Target
Protein needs vary by training load, body weight, and goal. A structured target makes it easier to preserve muscle in a deficit or support growth in a surplus.
- Spread protein across meals to improve adherence and recovery.
- Increase intake when training volume rises or when dieting aggressively.
- Use whole-food protein sources first, then supplement only when needed.
Is more protein always better?
Beyond a practical range, extra protein has diminishing returns. Focus on consistency and total daily intake first.
Should protein change on rest days?
Keeping protein steady across the week is usually simplest and supports recovery between sessions.
