This is How to Calculate Daily Protein Needs, So the Body Doesn't Easily Get Weak

"Dream - Dream friends must fulfill their daily protein needs to maintain body energy and keep you focused during activities. Protein sources can be obtained from various sources, such as tofu, tempeh, broccoli, red meat, fish, and chicken."

Although you often consume protein sources, it is possible that the levels may not be suitable for your needs. Ultimately, this habit can make your body feel weak, easily hungry, and difficult to build muscle mass even after maximum exercise. Find out how to calculate daily protein needs according to body weight and tricks to obtain it from fresh ingredients as conveyed by Lifestyle Content Creator, Elaine Hanafi, in the following.

"How to Calculate Protein Needs According to Body Weight"

Before consuming excessive protein, calculate your daily needs according to your body weight. Dream friends only need to multiply their body weight in kilograms by 1 gram.

That means if your weight is 55 kilograms, then your daily protein needs are 55 grams. "That's the absolute minimum. If it's less than that, it will result in a malnourished diet. If you have activities like sports and others, you should even increase it. It can be up to 1.2 to 2 times your body weight," said Elaine. If your activity is intense, multiply your weight by 2 kilograms to ensure sufficient protein intake.

"How to Calculate Protein Content in Food"

It needs to be known that the daily amount of protein needed is not the same as the weight of the protein source. That means, 55 grams of chicken breast may not necessarily fulfill your daily protein needs.

Every source of protein has different nutritional content. 100 grams of chicken breast itself contains 30 grams of protein. 2 chicken eggs contain about 13 grams of protein. About 2 pieces of medium-sized tempeh contain 12 grams of protein. If these sources are combined and consumed in the same amount, you can meet your daily protein needs.

All macronutrient measurements in food can be found using various applications such as MyFitnessPal or FatSecret that can be used for free.

Even, Dream Friends can also search for information on calories, protein amounts, carbohydrates, and others on Google. Therefore, it is not difficult to find information about nutrition so that your daily needs are fulfilled and your body becomes healthier.
