We have talked a lot about the healthy body that comes with healthy eating. Now, let’s understand what is more essential as “nutrition”. Protein is one of the most vital nutrients that help us to maintain a healthy life. It is not that the ones who worked out hard should eat protein in a good amount but it is important for everyone. People usually think that protein is for body-builder but it is a myth as every one of us needed the energy to work and energy is lead by protein we intake. The protein requirement per day of our body is the thing that we should consider which is why we have prepared this article to make you understand.
Let’s get started with what is the protein requirement per day of our body?
It always has been a topic of debate that how much protein our body needs per day. The least amount of protein needed by our body per day to maintain the optimal function of the body is 0.36 grams per pound or 0.8 grams per kilograms of bodyweight. This is called the “RDA” (the recommended dietary allowance). It is important to understand that the value of RDA varies from person to person based on the activities they do in a day. The level of RDA is different and comparatively higher for the ones who do exercise daily than the ones who do normal activities. The ones who love being couch protein are more likely to be unable a higher amount of protein than those who cover sports magazines. But protein is still needed by everybody whether they do any hardcore activity or not.

These people do not involve themselves in hardcore activities and only focus on working on laptops most probably. The daily protein requirement of these people is about 0.5 to 0.7 gm per pound of bodyweight.
- Moderately Active lifestyle (Female/male)
The people who are dedicated to their health and do various activities such as gyming, yoga to maintain a good physique are fallen into this category. These people do exercise on daily basis and maintain a good physique. The daily protein requirement of these people is about 0.8 to 1 gm per pound of bodyweight.
- Very active Lifestyle/Athlete (Female/male)
Athletes are mainly led to a lifestyle that involves hardcore exercise per day to maintain muscle strength and a healthy physique.
Comparatively, protein requirement per day of an athlete is more than anyone else which is why they intake a lot of protein in the form of egg, chicken, soybean and other food products that contain protein. The daily protein requirement of these people is about 1 to 1.5gm per pound of bodyweight.
