how much protein should i eat in a meal
If you get too little protein, you can suffer from fatigue, weakness or muscle loss. Your metabolism slows down and you put yourself at risk of gaining weight. It also weakens your immune system. That’s why everyone should have at least 25 grams of protein at every meal.
(ref 1) While more than the standard amount of protein typically recommended, including at least 25 to 30 grams of protein in each meal and get between 0.5 to 0.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day will help you achieve these beneficial effects, recommends a study published in The American Journal of ...
