How Much Protein Do Men Really Need Every Day?
Men often fall short of their daily protein needs, leading to low energy, cravings, and slow recovery. This guide explains how much protein men need based on activity level, the role of whey vs super blend protein, and simple ways to meet daily targets without complicated calculations.
Every man hears the same advice - “You need more protein.” But how much is “more”? And does it depend on your lifestyle, workouts, or age? Here’s a clear and simple guide based on everyday concerns, not complicated equations.
Why Men Need Enough Protein Daily
Protein builds muscles, repairs tissues, boosts immunity, improves metabolism, supports hair & skin, and keeps you full longer. Most Indian diets rely heavily on carbs - roti, rice, potatoes - leaving a big gap in daily protein intake. This leads to fatigue, slow muscle recovery, constant hunger, and even weight gain.
Getting your daily protein is non-negotiable.
How Much Protein Does an Average Man Need?
Here’s the simplest breakdown:
1. Men with minimal exercise
Need: 0.8–1 g per kg body weight (Example: If you weigh 70 kg → 60–70 g protein/day)
2. Men who walk or do light workouts
Need: 1–1.2 g per kg
3. Men who lift weights or train regularly
Need: 1.4–1.6 g per kg
4. Men aiming for fat loss
Need: 1.2–1.6 g per kg (Protein helps reduce cravings and keeps you full.)
5. Men wanting muscle gain
Need: 1.5–1.8 g per kg
Most men fall short by 40–60 g per day.
