How much protein do you really need to get strong?

BBC  

How much protein do you really need to get strong? "In the UK, the government guidelines say that the general baseline for sedentary adults is that they should consume 0.8 or 0.75g of protein per kg of their own body weight," says Patel. "When I incorporated plant-based protein powders into my diet, it became much easier to hit my protein goals… Over time, I experimented with different options and found that lean protein powders or whey protein worked best for me, as they are low in calories but high in protein," says Moulson. "One must definitely avoid 'blended' proteins with herbal components as the risk of adulteration, contamination inclusive of the presence of heavy metals and fungal toxins are higher in these types of protein supplements," he says. "As a general guideline, I wouldn't recommend that people using protein powders exceed 80g a day," says Patel.
