How much protein needed per day ?

We all know know that Protein is very important Macro Nutrient and supports muscle recovery post workout. But how much protein needed per day is a question for which people generally don't have correct answer. There is common misconception that one should take Protein equivalent to 2g per Kg of body weight which is not true. People tend to give over emphasis on Protein intake and often neglect other macro nutrients Carbs and Fats.

Digestion of protein is not simple. Daily Protein requirement is 1.2g per Kg of body weight for the people who workout regularly. Consumption of Protein above 1.6 to 1.7g/Kg body weight doesn’t promote further muscle protein synthesis but actually contribute in extra caloric intake which is stored as fat. For muscle growth It is important to take a balanced diet which has all the Macro Nutrient viz Carb, Protein & Fat in right proportion.
