Keep the Protein Flowing

     Protein is a very necessary component of everyone’s diet. The more active you are, the more protein your body requires. Protein is essential for the repair of muscle and other body tissues. The amount of protein required depends on your size, and activity level. If you are sedentary, .25-.3 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily is likely enough. If you are moderately active, this should be increased to .4 grams per pound daily. If you are very active, and lifting weights in an effort to gain muscle, .5 to .6 grams per pound daily is what you should be ingesting. Many people have trouble eating enough lean protein to meet the daily suggestions. It is often very helpful to frequently ingest a protein supplement. Supplements such as whey, or soy protein are relatively inexpensive and can be mixed with water or non-fat milk to have a very low-calorie solution. If you do this you should try to divide the protein into as many dosages as possible. Try to ingest the protein throughout the day as it will be more easily absorbed into the body. Please let me know if you need any help with your exercise or nutrition programs.
