Modern Wisdom
Protein Intake for Muscle Mass Retention and Building
For most individuals not heavily focused on bodybuilding, consuming slightly over half a gram of protein per pound of body weight daily is adequate to meet their needs. Consuming around 120 grams of protein per day for a 200-pound individual is sufficient for fat loss while preserving muscle. For individuals engaged in intense training, high levels of activity, or over 40 and lean, consuming just over one gram of protein per pound of body weight is recommended. Very serious fitness enthusiasts may aim for one gram of protein per pound of body weight. However, for general advice to most individuals, consuming a little over half a gram per pound is effective. It is advisable to distribute protein intake evenly through three to five meals daily for optimal muscle retention and building.
