1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 When trying to lose weight, building muscle mass, or generally trying to be healthier... all you hear is PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN.&amp;nbsp; Butttttt How much protein should we be eating each day? &amp;nbsp; If you talk to a personal trainer or an avid gym goer, you might think 1g/pound of body weight. Well the recommended daily allowance or RDA for most adults is 0.8g/kg of body weight.&amp;nbsp; To get your weight into kilograms/kg you need to divide weight in pounds by 2.2. This could look like a 180lb individual divided by 2.2 = ~82kg.&amp;nbsp; This could be either 180g of protein to try to eat (wowzas) OR aim for at least 65g protein (phew that's easier).&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now, do I frequently recommend 1g/kg of body weight!? YESSS!!! So in that example I just gave, that's 82g protein a day! Still a lot easier to achieve than 180g protein a day.&amp;nbsp; PLUS veggies, whole graine, legumes/beans, nuts/seeds also contain protein. So ADD to your meal :)&amp;nbsp; To learn more or work with Nicole, visit www.nutritionsmylife.com&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; References:&amp;nbsp; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK541119/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6492513/ Nutrition's My Life Podcast http://nutritionsmylife.libsyn.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/28310756/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/162789098
