Statistically speaking, most Americans are meeting their basic protein recommendations. But these recommendations are just the amount to keep your body functioning. You really need more to support your active lifestyle, promote a healthy immune system and brain function, and to prevent muscle loss that naturally occurs as you age. Adding a little more to your day can also curb hunger and fend off carb cravings. In today’s episode, we’re talking about some sneaky signs that suggest you may need more protein in your diet. So what are they? And how much protein should you aim for each day?
To Calculate Your RDA for Protein:
Multiply your body weight x 0.8 grams to determine your protein requirements.
Note: This is the minimum daily amount of protein needed to maintain muscle mass and health.
To Calculate Your Healthy or Optimal Range for Protein:
Multiply your body weight by 0.5 to 0.9 grams to determine a more adequate protein range.
