Coaching opportunity: www.colossusfitness.com/onlinecoaching

In today’s episode we go over how much protein you should be eating and all the considerations that go into your total daily protein intake. This is a topic that a lot of people find insanely confusing, and our goal with this episode is to break it down and make it as simple to understand as possible.

Ultimate protein recommendation:

Colossus Fitness: 0.8-1.2g (Trained athlete’s goal)

Layne norton protein recommendations:

Under 18 years: 0.6-0.8 grams per pound of body weight

19-40 years: 0.8-1.1 grams per pound of body weight

41-65 years: 1.1-1.3 grams per pound of body weight

Over 65 years: 1.3-1.5 grams per pound of body weight

Take away: "Even if you don't measure it out to the gram, the lesson here is that as you age, you need more protein," Layne Norton, Ph.D., says.
