NUTRITION TIP: YOU’RE PROBABLY NOT EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN!
We need protein to build, repair and maintain our skeletal muscle mass.
This is important as we age, and for women especially during and after their menopausal transition .
Protein is also very important if we are resistance training.
Current research is pointing towards 2.2g protein per kg of body weight for strength and power training, and up to 2.4g/kg for fat loss with muscle retention.
How Much?
For a 60kg person, this is about 144g protein / day.
For an 80kg person, this is roughly 192g protein / day.
Noting that a 200g steak contains approx 40-50g protein, 2 eggs contain about 13g protein, and 2 slices of cheese contain roughly 14g protein.
