Frequently Asked Questions

How much protein do I need daily?

There isn’t one pre-determined answer for this question as protein needs varies from person to person depending on various factors such as goals, lifestyle, gender, and physical activity.  

The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) suggests that adults take at at least 0.8 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight. However, for athletes or individuals looking to pack on some muscle, 1.2-1.7 grams of protein is suggested per kg of bodyweight. 

Why is protein important in my diet?

Protein is one of the main three macronutrients that make up our diet along with Carbohydrates and Fats. Protein in particular provides Amino Acids otherwise known as the “building blocks” for repairing and building muscle and bones. 

This makes protein absolutely essential for fitness enthusiasts looking to build muscle. A balanced diet with a adequate amount of protein will maximize gains and bring you closer to the end goal. 

Where can I find Protein Sources?

Protein is a relatively easy macronutrient to include your daily diet as it can be found in many staple products such as eggs, meats, and fish. Plant sources are also widely available such as peanuts, almonds, and soy.
