Daily Requirements for Protein: How Much Should We Eat?

I’m curious about protein quality meaning the source contains all nine essential amino acids, but how well does the source satisfy our needs?

A reputable list of protein sources

For building new muscle mass my recommendation is 0.5 g per LB or 1 g per KG. The recommendation is pretty much in line with the 1.6 g/kg max that was shown in the amino acid oxidation studies summarized by Tarnopolsky et. al. As far as being a bodybuilder or weightlifter, the natural tendency to eat more will probably have you covered, especially if you're a meat eater. Some people missing out on protein, are people with seriously imbalanced eating. You could consume a bunch of sugar and oil and get plenty of calories without any protein. This would be very rare and doesn't apply to most people.

Best complete protein sources

For building new muscle mass my recommendation is 0.5 g per LB or 1 g per KG. "High quality proteins refers to the match between the amino acid profile of the food you're looking at to human amino acid composition. There's no real need to worry about this. Protein deficiencies really only occur in people who aren't meeting their calorie needs. Generally on a western diet we eat too much carbs and still get deficient in protein. Carbs are where it's at. If I have a 4000-calorie day, it's basically all extra sugar and carbohydrate foods like dried fruit, uncooked oatmeal, unsalted pretzels, maltodextrin.

Daily Requirements for protein

Protein is an absolute requirement that varies depending on your weight. The World Health Organization recommends 0.8 g protein per kg of lean body mass. If you're an endurance athlete, you can maximally utilize up to 1.6 g/kg. If you want to lose quite a bit of weight, you want to make sure you balance your fats, proteins and carbs. You basically need to rethink food, starting with a list of high quality protein compliments.

Calorie density principle: reduce the average calorie density down

High quality proteins refers to the match between the amino acid profile of the food you're looking at to human amino acid composition. If you want to lose weight, regardless of whether or not you eat meat or occasionally splurge on more calorie-dense foods, you can reduce the calorie density of your diet in order to be able to eat until you're full and still lose weight. The more you emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, tubers, squashes, and beans, the lower in calorie density you'll go. Even meat is technically a whole, natural food, as long as it's not cooked in fat or breaded and fried. If you can reduce the average calorie density down to about 400 calories a pound or 1 kcal/g as recommended by the WHO, you should be able to lose weight effortlessly. Except for the induction period when you'll have to get used to new foods. The way I solve for my plate is to fill half of it with the denser starch and protein staples  as beans, grains, tubers, and the other half with vegetables.  Fruit I like to save for sweet snacks.

What are the protein staples?

Protein is an absolute requirement that varies depending on your weight. The World Health Organization recommends 0.8 g protein per kg of lean body mass. The hardest part about the induction period is actually knowing what to cook. If I can get a list of high-quality compliments, I could say, I want foods with a smaller calorie density. The beans, grains, or tubers, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Over the last 6 months I've averaged 82g protein/day. The top sources were black beans, lentils, popcorn, quinoa, garbanzo beans, a 7-grain bread I like, rice cakes, kale, and mustard greens. I eat leafy greens almost every day. First thing I think about is minimum fiber, because I want regular bowel movements. Then is total calories, made up of fats, carbs and protein. Carbs are non-essential, fat is made up of two fatty acids that aren't hard to get but protein is complicated and confusing, so if I figure out a nice high-quality protein, the rest should fall into place. Then my macros should be mostly solved, and then I can think about micros, which I've never done before. I think I don't have to think about that as much, so long as I have variety. Protein is different because I barely even know what has protein in it.

High-quality protein choices: go for animal protein

Everything has protein in varying amounts. If your goal is "high quality" protein, then you'd go for animal protein. So here’s how much protein you need based on your lifestyle and health  condition table 1. Protein requirements for different lifestyle conditions

How much protein is a question. Bodybuilders who take large amounts of protein powder for extended periods now have very high adaptive requirements. If they suddenly stop taking the supplements, it could be really quite dangerous. The main reason a body builder needs much more protein 2 years in compared to 1 year has little to do with body mass. It has to do with the fact that a much of the protein they’re consuming is now just used to meet their adaptive requirement, and it takes several scoops before they even get into the ‘excess’. The reality is that the bulk of your daily requirement comes from your adaptive demand, not your basal demand. Years of taking protein supplements is just years of chasing your requirements up and up and trying to catch up with them. The more you try, the more they’ll rise!

A tip: consume 30g protein in a meal

I recently learned that you should try to consume 30g protein in a meal, regardless of the overall intake number. Eating this much in a meal is optimal for the body to synthesize protein and build muscle. It references 30g of animal protein in the study so with plant based, you’d want a little more. Anecdotally, I noticed that when I started doing this in the mornings with eggs, spinach, and lentils, my muscle mass increased drastically without any other changes. Read the full article
