Not a percentage. Grams of protein in relation to kgs of bodyweight.
all proteins are not the same although they are manufactured from the same 22 amino acids. they have different functions and work in different areas of the body.
there are 2 types of protein complete proteins and in complete proteins.
complete proteins provide the proper balance of the 8 necessary ammino acids that build tissue, and is found in foodstuff such as meats, poultry,seafood,eggs,milk and cheese.
incomplete proteins lack certain essential ammino acids and is not used efficiently when eaten alone, however when it is combined with animal source protein, it becomes complete. it is found in seeds, nuts, peas, grains and beans.
mixing complete and incomplete proteins can give you better nutrition than either one alone. A good rice and bean dish can be just as nourishing, less expensive and lower in fat than steak.
everyones protein requirements differ, depending on a variety of factoirs including health,age, and size.
the younger and larger you are the more you require
AGE |||||||||1\3 |4\6 |7\10 |11\14 |15\18 |19+
KEY POUNDS | 0.82 |0.68 |0.55 |0.46 |0.40 |0.36
find the pound key under your age group multiply that number by your weight. the result will be you daily protein requirement in grams.
Example: you weigh 100pounds and are 33 yrs
your pound key is 0.36.
0.36x100=36g your daily intake requirement.
an average minimum protein intake is around 45g a day. thats 15g or about half ounce per meal. make sure you get enough at breakfast!
