 How much protein should you eat each day? 

The answer depends on your goal. 

I break down the latest evidence-based protein recommendations for general health, muscle growth, fat loss, recreational exercise, and healthy aging. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or trying to maximize muscle growth, understanding your protein needs can make a huge difference. 

We discuss: 

•  The minimum protein intake needed for overall health 
•  How much protein recreational exercisers should aim for 
•  The optimal range for building muscle 
•  Why protein is even more important during fat loss 
•  Whether 1 gram per pound of body weight is actually necessary 
•  Why estimating your lean body mass can be a practical approach without obsessing over exact numbers 

I also share how I calculate my own daily protein target and why I focus on consistency over perfection.
 
The goal isn't to hit the perfect number every day—it's to consistently eat enough protein to support your health and your fitness goals.
