Protein Intake

[Rasseye]

Hello - how much protein do I need daily to maintain muscle as I lose weight? I currently am 6’ and weigh 212 lbs. is there a helpful calculation?

I use https://cronometer.com/ . It will tell you how much protein you need, you log your food and exercise. There's a dial to set for weight loss, maintenance or gain, and how many lbs a week.

If you know your goal weight or lean mass you could go with 1g-1.5g of protein per lbs of your goal weight (lean mass).

And of course you have to give those muscles a reason to stay aka strength training!

Protein alone doesn't keep your muscle if you don't do any musculation workout!
1 to 1.5g / lbs
2 to 2.5g / kg
