  1. Addressing the question of how much protein you need per day to lose weight starts by looking at why the body needs protein and how it benefits from it How much protein powder, shakes or supplement scan our bodies take and do we really need it? This article aims to provide information for people who want to know more about protein intake and how much protein they need per day to lose weight. While it was once only used by weightlifters and bodybuilders, more and more people over time discovered the benefits of protein supplements and it soon became part of their daily health and fitness routines. Nowadays, the global fitness industry is booming and protein in the form of powders, bars, shakes and even tablets are marketed to the average fitness fanatic as an essential part of their fitness plans. A recent study even found that more than half of gym-goers regularly supplements as part of their daily intake during training. But while protein is an essential nutrient for which we cannot live, these supplements may not be as necessary as we believe. take protein Protein is a vital nutrient without which humans cannot live. Every cell in our bodies contain proteins and we use it in different ways for example to repair damaged tissue and to build muscle. Protein is also an excellent source of energy, acting as a booster when your body needs it most and providing you with the required hormones it needs. To address the issue of how much protein we need per day, the recommended dietary allowance is a moderate 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which does not seem like much. This is the number of nutrients your body needs to meet your basic nutritional requirements, but our busy lifestyles these days are contributing towards an even reduced intake of natural proteins that are found in food like meat, eggs, fish, chicken, dairy products, vegetables and some nuts. It is often said the people who want to lose weight, but still keep or even enhance muscle growth, should drastically increase their protein intake. This can be achieved by protein supplements to aid with muscle absorption while losing weight. People also opt for protein supplements to improve their performance during exercise or to speed up recovery after injury.

  2. It has even been shown that extra protein consumption increases muscle development and provides strength when consumed as part of an exercise program.While the surplus of amino acids is excreted, the excess protein consumed is normally stored as fat in the body, so if you do not combine your additional or supplementary protein intake with regular exercise, you will not lose, but gain weight. You can increase the rate at which your body burns calories by a high level of protein added to your daily diet, as this will speed up your metabolism, but bear in mind that protein by itself does not contain enough fibre to keep your digestive system regular and some people complain that it leaves them feeling ‘heavy’ and ‘bloated’. The amount of protein we need to eat, when to eat it and whether we really need to supplement it (by drinking protein shakes, for example) has been studied by scientists for years and remains a topic of discussion, even among experts. The overall consensuses pointing towards a slightly greater need than normal for people participating in intensive training such as bodybuilding, depending on their goals. Also, not everybody needs additional protein supplements or a high protein diet. For someone that weighs around 155 pounds will need a total of about 56 grams of protein per day. But people who are looking to lose weight, for fitness and health, or those that want to build muscle and recover faster after exercise, the experts recommend taking between 1.4 g and 2 g of protein per kilogram per day. However, it has also been proven over the years that a high-protein diet that excludes the intake of protein supplements, is equally effective - meaning that the true benefits of protein supplements are probably best seen by weightlifters, bodybuilders and those people who are exercising ruinously and regularly. The fact of the matter is that the body needs protein and you can supplement your needs any way you wish, as long as you consider your health first.
