Protein — Everything You Need to Know
The Art of Manliness
Average protein intake for most people is only 80 grams per day
On average, people get about 80 grams of protein per day. Men generally need a little more, around 90 grams, while women need a little less, around 70 grams. Protein requirements are based on lean body mass and weight. If a man and woman weigh the same, they have similar protein requirements. Interestingly, endurance exercise actually requires more protein than weightlifting. Endurance exercise burns about 10 grams of protein per hour, so if you do three hours of exercise, you need an extra 30 grams of protein. This applies to all types of exercise, not just weightlifting.
