Description

How much protein are you having each day?
Some sports scientists have suggested that endurance and resistance-training exercise may increase daily protein needs up to a maximum of 1.2-1.6 g per kg body weight (BW), compared to the recommended intake of 0.8 g/kg BW for a sedentary person.
So if you weigh 80k and are actively training you should be eating anywhere between 96 and 128g of protein per day.
The wonderful thing about a high protein intake is that it makes it far easier to shed excess body fat.
There are many reasons behind this but the key points are:
1: Protein helps you feel full for longer therefore you are less likely to overeat.
2: Protein preserves lean body mass and a greater lean body mass equates to a higher metabolism.
3: Protein increases the thermic effect of food which means it uses up more calories to burn the protein than fats and carbs.
4: Protein is harder to store as body fat than carbohydrates and fats.
