Recommended protein intakes

It 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)
