Protein and nutrition
Your diet should support recovery, health and your body goals. Enough protein helps you preserve and build muscle mass.
What the evidence says
- A common reference for people who train is 1.4-2.0 g/kg/day.
- Spread your protein across several meals based on tolerance and preference.
- To gain weight you need enough energy; to lose it, a moderate deficit.
How to apply it today
Don't turn a number into a medical mandate. Adjust your nutrition to your digestion, health, goal and professional advice when appropriate.
