how many proteins do i need to eat everyday? This is a question i get asked all the time by my clients. Fortunately, they understand the importance of them. In any diet plan, whether it is for losing weight (or as they say in Italy dimagrire ) or for gaining lean mass, you need to have a good intake of proteins everyday. They are the essential blocks of which our muslces are made from. They are like the bricks that make up a wall. Getting too few proteins in our diets is equal to not having enough bricks for building a good and robust wall. About the question of how many you should have everyday, it really depends on your body composition and your outcome. If you are 120 pounds with 10% bodyfat you will need a different amount of proteins than if you are 100 punds with 30% bodyfat. So i recommend consulting with a professional around this.
