Most science supports that you need a minimum of 1g per kg of body weight.
This puts the average person at 46-56g.
However, that is also widely considered to be for maintenance and/or bare minimum.
For optimal weight loss AND muscle gain, studies have suggested two ways to figure this out:
—Up to 30% of calories from protein. On a 2000 calorie diet, that’s 150g.
—.75-.85g per POUND of body weight. That’s 150-170g for a 200 lb person.
We’ve seen our best results with clients who shoot for the .75 target, because whether it’s hit perfectly, it helps rebuild muscle, burn fat, and buffer hunger and cravings. For more reading on this, checkout this article.
