To work out approximately the amount of protein you need you can use figure it out by calculating grams required or by using the hand method. Based on a protein recommendation of 1.5 ? 2 grams / kg / day (I recommend using your ideal body weight in kg) work out how much pure protein you need. (If you are American 1kg = 2.2lbs) If you are 80 kg this is 120 ? 160 grams per day. (80kg x 1.5) If you are choosing meat, use the charts below to work out the amount. If eating 3 meals divide protein evenly between each one. Thats 40 grams meal. If eating 4 meals divide it into 4 etc. Eat more if you are doing strength exercise or a heavy training schedule, i. E. Up to 2.5 g /kg /day. Let?s say your protein choice is chicken, 70 grams weighed chicken (cooked) contains 20 grams pure protein, you need double: 140 grams chicken contains 40 grams protein.(American translation: 30grams is approx 1 oz)
