How Much Protein Do You Need? – Monthly Tip for Industrial Athletes
It’s important for industrial athletes to consume enough protein in their diet, especially when they are physically active and burning calories. The right amount of protein can help burn fat, increase muscle strength and mass, and reduce injury risk.
Tips
- Follow recommended minimum daily allowance – 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. (1kg=2.2 lbs)
- Eat a protein-rich breakfast to fuel your body and feel full for a longer period of time.
- Check nutrition labels on food products for protein content to monitor intake.
