FAQ

Common questions about this topic

How much protein should I eat per day?

The answer depends on body size and goal. Fat-loss and muscle-gain phases usually benefit from a higher protein intake than maintenance.

Is more protein always better?

No. More is not always better once you are already in a useful range. The goal is enough protein to support recovery, fullness, and performance.

Can I hit my protein target without supplements?

Yes. Supplements can help with convenience, but whole foods can cover the target for many people.
