how many grams of protein should i have when bodybuilding?
hi im 15 years old and i wanted to ask how many grams of protein should i have when bodybuilding? is it 1 gram/1lb of body weight or 1gram/1kg of body weight?
Chosen Answer:
Eat 1g Protein per Pound of Body-weight Daily. You need protein to build muscle & for muscle recovery. Protein also boosts your metabolism: your body burns 25kcal per 100kcal protein ingested, which is more than for carbs or fats.
Get 1g protein per pound of body-weight. That’s 2.2g protein per kilogram of body-weight. Sources of protein:
Red Meat. Beef, pork, lamb, deer, buffalo, etc.
Poultry. Chicken, turkey, duck, etc.
Fish. Tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, etc.
Eggs. Eat the yolk, it’s full of vitamins.
Dairy. Milk, cheese, cottage cheese, quark, yogurt, etc.
Whey. Not necessary but great for easy post workout shakes.
