how much protien should the average male intake?


Question:


Answers:
The range of acceptable numbers I hear is anywhere from 0.5g to 2g of protein for every pound of lean body mass (that's about 0.2g to 1g per kilogram). To prevent muscle wasting as a result of diet restrictions, I think you'll want to be somewhere above 1g per pound. I aim for 1 to 1.5g.

If we assume you're an average male -- about 15% body fat -- you've got about 63kg of lean body mass, which is 140 pounds, which means you should be getting at least 140g of protein per day.

Other Answers:
Around 150 grams of protien.
