Struggling to meet your protein goals? Here are simple yet effective ways to boost your daily intake
Experts recommend that the average adult consume between 0.8 and 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. For instance, if you weigh around 68 kg (150 pounds), you should aim for 55-68 grams of protein daily.
For those who are highly active, such as athletes, weightlifters or people with physically demanding jobs, increasing protein intake can be beneficial. Similarly, older adults at risk of muscle loss (sarcopenia) may require additional protein to maintain strength.
If you want a more precise estimate, consider using a dietary reference intake calculator.
Make protein a daily habit
One of the best ways to ensure you're meeting your protein needs is to make it a routine. Establishing consistent habits makes it easier to stick to dietary goals. For instance, if you always have milk with breakfast, try swapping it for a protein shake to boost your intake. Similarly, drinking a post-workout protein shake immediately after exercise can help reinforce this habit.
