Protein is a central element in our diet, crucial for metabolism, muscle growth, and satiety, helping not just with workouts but overall health.
The USDA suggests 10% to 35% of daily caloric intake should be from protein, which translates to 200 to 700 calories for a 2,000-calorie diet.
People typically don't need to monitor their protein intake too closely, as those consuming adequate calories are likely fulfilling their protein needs.
Protein requirements vary by individual activity level, age, and sex; older adults should consume more, approximately 1.8 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.
