Protein
Calculator:
It is recommended that strength and power athletes
should try to consume at least 1.5 to 2.0
grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
Some experts may even recommend more. To find out
your target protein intake, enter your body weight
in the calculator below If you'd like to know more
then please use the Discussion
Forum.
A 200-pound athlete weighs about 91 kilograms.
Using the calculator, we find that for a ingestion
rate of 1.5 g protein/kg body weight, the athlete
should ingest 136.5g protein per day. For the ingestion
rate of 2.0g/kg, the figure is 182.0g. To ingest 182.0g
protein over a day would require six daily meals;
about 30g per meal.
