Frequently asked questions

How much protein do I need per day?

Aim for roughly 1.6–2.2 g per kg of body weight if you train. General health needs are lower (around 1.2–1.6 g/kg), and aggressive cuts trend higher (up to ~2.4 g/kg).

Can I eat too much protein?

For healthy people, higher protein is well tolerated. Those with kidney disease or clinician-directed restrictions should follow medical advice.

Does protein timing matter?

Total daily protein matters most. Spreading it across 3–4 meals is a reasonable, practical approach.
