I was curious on how much protein I would need to eat a day while working out? I read somewhere its 1.5 grams per body weight, is this whats usually recommended? Just want to make sure I am eating enough protein to get full benefit from my workouts |

Quoted: Generally speaking the rule is 1g per lb of body weight. If you're training hard though, definitely strive for at least 1.5. I've noticed that my strength gains are much steadier when I'm able to maintain a higher protein intake. I will try to get 1 gram per body weight, going to have to add an extra meal ( weigh 200 right now) |
