2/11/2013 0 Comments Recommended protein intakesIt has been argued that physically active individuals need more protein than is currently recommended. Antonio (2008), p.255-256 gave some guideline for the recommended daily allowance (RDA) (grams of protein/kg body weight/day) for protein for sedentary adults as well as physically active individuals.
Sedentary (adult) – 0.8 Recreational exerciser (adult) – 1.0-1.4 Resistance-trained (maintenance) – 1.2-1.4 Resistance-trained (gain muscle mass) – 1.4-1.8 Endurance-trained – 1.2-1.4 Intermittent, high intensity training – 1.2-1.8 Weight-restricted sports – 1.4-2.0 Adapted from Williams (2005) and other sources as cited in Antonio (2008) References: Antonio, J., Kalman, D., Stout, J.
