HOW MUCH
There is no universal answer to this particular question since everybody’s protein needs vary. Protein requirements vary depending on an individual’s age, gender, weight, medical conditions and the nature of the workout one does. The first thing to do is to determine your caloric and macronutrient allotments. After calculating the BMR(Basal Metabolic Rate) and applying the Harris-Benedict Principle, one could know how many calories are needed on a daily basis.
Step 1- Calculating BMR:
Men | BMR=66.4730 + (13.7516 x weight in kg) + (5.0033 x height in cm) – (6.7550 x age in years) |
Women | BMR = 655.0955 + (9.5634 x weight in kg) + (1.8496 x height in cm) – (4.6756 x age in years) |
Step 2- Applying the Harris-Benedict Principle :
The following table enables the calculation of an individual’s recommended daily calorie intake to maintain optimum weight.
Little to no exercise | Daily calorie needed =BMRx1.2 |
Light exercise (1-3 days per week) | Daily calorie needed =BMRx1.375 |
Moderate exercise (4-5 days per week) | Daily calorie needed =BMRx1.55 |
Heavy exercise (6-7 days per week) | Daily calorie needed =BMRx1.725 |
Very heavy exercise (twice per day, extra heavy workouts) | Daily calorie needed =BMRx1.9 |
