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.
According to American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommendations, most active adults only need 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. (A kilogram is 2.2 pounds.) So a person who weighs 125 pounds needs 45 to 57 g of protein in a day; for someone who weighs 175 pounds, itâs 65 to 80 g. Serious athletes need a bit more, but weâll get to that in a minute.
