How much protein do we need every day?

Protein can be said to be the material basis of life. It is not only an important component of the body, but also regulates physiological functions (enzymes and some hormones). In extreme cases, it can also provide energy for human life activities. So how much protein do we need to consume every day?
The amount of protein we consume is related to our eating habits. The standards of the Chinese Nutrition Society take into account that the proportion of plants in the diet of Chinese people is more (more than a few), and it is recommended that the daily protein intake of healthy adults is 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight. In Europe and the United States, the diet is low, and the intake per kilogram is lower. The US Department of Agriculture supplies about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight to the dietary intake of protein for healthy adults.

Protein intake is also related to exercise intensity. What is certain is that the greater the intensity of exercise, the more protein is consumed and the more it needs to be replenished. Strength athletes (strength and speed): usually 1.2g to 1.7g per kilogram of body weight. Endurance athletes: usually 1.2g to 1.4g per kilogram of body weight. It doesn't seem to be much, but athletes have a high quality diet and usually guarantee a good source of protein. Let's take a look at the NBA news. Professional basketball players like Jeremy Lin (91kg) have a protein intake of 2g per kilogram of body weight per day. The hard work of the professional league is evident.

For people who lose weight, they should consume more protein. A paper in Sports Training Medicine and Science in 2010 examined the effects of protein intake on fat loss. The results showed that after reducing calorie intake, comparing each kilogram of body weight per 1g protein intake, 2.3g intake can bring about a more significant fat loss effect.

In short, when there is very little physical activity, it is recommended that the protein intake should be 0.8g to 1.2g per kilogram of body weight; for sports people and manual workers, it is recommended that the protein intake should be 1.2g to 1.8g per kilogram of body weight; increasing some protein intake helps fat loss people reduce fat. In life, we need accurate and scientific protein intake. In scientific research, we need to use faster and more accurate ELISA reagents to detect proteins.
