However, athletes trying to build muscle need 0.6 to 0.82 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day, according to a review published in a 2011 edition of the âJournal of Sports Sciences.â For example, a 160-pound man trying to bulk up may need up to 131 grams of protein each day.
So a more precise method of calculating just how much protein you need to gain muscle is based on your lean body weight, not your total body weight. It goes like thisâ¦.
