How To Crush Your Daily Protein Goals (NO Protein Powder Needed)
If you are or plan to be active and grow muscle, you’ll need protein. Research suggests somewhere between 1.5–2.3g per kg bodyweight.
Think of it as building blocks.
We create tiny tears in our muscle fibres when we engage in strenuous activities (calisthenics, weightlifting, etc.).
Protein helps repair these tears and promotes muscle growth, leading to increased muscle mass over time.
That’s simplified but brings the point across.
Whether it’s through “natural” food sources or protein powders.
Hitting your daily protein goals is essential for optimising muscle recovery and growth.
Side note:
I don’t have anything against protein powders. They are great if you need large amounts per day. I’m talking 200 grams and upwards. It is cheaper and more convenient to consume for the amount of protein you get out of it.
My approach to estimate protein intake was always my goal weight times 1.9 grams.
It’s somewhere in between the range. I don’t see the need for it to be higher.
