Daily Training Tip #681

Building off of yesterday; on average 1.5grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is what an athlete needs.

I’m not a math guy, but here we go. A 200 pound athlete equals 91 kilograms. 1.5g X 91kg = 136.5 or 140grams of protein on a daily basis. Spread this out over the entire day. There is not much need for more protein than this as it will be eliminated by your body through your urine.
