1 gram of protein per every pound you weigh...?

Question

Everywhere I have researched says to gain muscle you need to eat 1 gram of protein per every 1 pound you weigh. Is this per meal or per day?

Answer 1

Per day and it's 1-2g of protein per pound of lean mass (not your entire weight), so you need to figure that out first.

You should have 5-7 small meals a day.

HTH : )

Answer 2

IT is 1gr of proteins for every kilogramme of weight per day ...this is not to gain muscle but to maintain your muscle mass, to gain u may need to increase the protein intake

Answer 3

i think that per meal would kill you if you do per meal...either that or you will feel extremely constipated

it's definitely 1gram of protein for every 1lb of bodyweight per DAY
