Daily Protein Intake Guide
Protein is an essential macronutrient required for muscle repair, immune function, hormone production, and overall body maintenance. The amount of protein you need depends on your body weight, activity level, and fitness goals.
Most sedentary adults require approximately 0.8–1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. However, active individuals and athletes may require significantly more to support muscle recovery and growth.
