A short conversational transcript from a Lori Harder YouTube video discussing daily protein intake. Speakers give practical protein targets: roughly 1 gram per pound of body weight for maintenance and about 1.5 grams per pound for muscle gain, and recommend front-loading protein early in the day.
About 1 gram per pound of body weight.
About 1.5 grams per pound of body weight.
What does a good protein quotient look like for men and women?
On average? An easy number, remember, is one gram per pound of body weight.
Oh, shit.
Yeah. It's like, more than what you would think. And that's if for someone who's just staying stable, if someone is actually trying to add muscle mass, it goes up even more.
