How much protein should I consume?
The amount of protein you want to consume hinges on your fitness or*weight loss*goals. According to Lynn, a good way to project how much protein you should consume in grams is to aim for your target weight, not what you currently weigh.
“If you want to weigh 180 pounds, aim for 180 grams of protein to feed the muscle and starve the fat,” she suggests. “But do it in increments that your body can utilize.”
That would be 24 grams every two to three hours. Shoveling more than that down your gullet won’t help you get bigger or stronger; it’s simply a waste. Instead, space out your protein intake.
