Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein is ideal for muscle gain? +
Research shows 1.6–2.2 g per kg body weight daily is optimal for hypertrophy when training hard and eating in surplus.
Should I calculate based on lean mass? +
For most people total body weight works well. If you're very overweight, use estimated lean mass for better accuracy.
Is too much protein harmful? +
Up to 2.2–3g/kg is safe for healthy kidneys. Excess just gets used as energy or stored as fat.
Best times to consume protein? +
Spread intake across 3–5 meals/snacks (20–40g each). Post-workout and before bed are key windows.
Vegetarian sources for high protein? +
Paneer, tofu, tempeh, lentils, chickpeas, Greek yogurt, whey/plant protein shakes – easily hit targets.
