How much protein should I take?

The amount of protein consumed each day depends on an individual’s training and goals. However, a good standard to aim for is 2g of protein for every kilogram of bodyweight. For example, someone who weighs 80kg and exercises 2-3 times a week should consume approximately 160g of protein each day. The minimum amount of protein an athlete should aim for is 1.5g per kg of bodyweight.
