This is called its amplitude. In the case of the pendulum, its amplitude is the maximum height it rises to. In the case of a spring it is the maximum compression (or stretch) distance. Notice that to compress a spring further and further, you need to push it harder and harder.
I recommend .8 grams of protein per lb of lean body mass for males and females who exercise at least 3 times per week and are trying to lose body fat. A 150 lb woman with 25% bodyfat would aim to consume about 90 grams of protein in a day. Thatâs 3 meals with 20 grams of protein per meal and 3 snacks with 10 grams of protein, and THAT, my friends, is also very doable.
But while we love the macronutrient, consuming too much can have some serious consequences for your waistline and health. What's too much? Well, the rule of thumb is that you should consume about 0.45 grams of protein per pound for men and 0.35 grams of protein per pound for women. So, if you're a 150-pound woman, you shouldn't be taking in more than 52.5 grams of protein in a day.
