How Much Protein Should You Eat Per Day?

Send us Fan Mail 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. First time listening? Check out our trailer: "Start Here - What The Power of Progress is All About" It's less than 2 minutes and will help you jumpstart your fitness and mindset journey.Follow me on Instagram: scottspeaksfitnessNeed a speaker for your next event??
