How to Calculate Your Protein Needs Determining Protein Needs. When determining your protein needs, you can either identify a percentage of total daily Health Benefits. Protein helps to maintain body tissues, including muscles, organs, nervous system, blood, skin, and Protein Sources. Protein.
The amount of protein you need depends on your weight, goals, and lifestyle. The daily minimum recommended by the National Institutes of Health is 0.36 grams per pound for a sedentary person. [1] However, if you do intense workouts or have a physically demanding job, you’ll need more. [2].How much daily protein is optimal for you depends on your weight, goal, and level of physical activity: from _at least_ 1.2 g/kg if you’re sedentary all the way up to at least 1.8 g/kg if you’re active and aiming for fat loss.
Katch-McArdle Body Fat: Exercise: 15-30 minutes of elevated heart rate activity. Intense exercise: 45-120 minutes of elevated heart rate activity. Very intense exercise: 2+ hours of elevated heart rate activity.The easiest way to calculate your servings is to measure out your meals.
You should weigh meat or measure out foods like beans and legumes with measuring cups. Weigh meat in ounces, and multiply by the amount of protein in each ounce. For instance, 3 ounces of meat has 21 grams of protein because each ounce has 7 grams.
To determine your personal protein needs, obtain your weight in kilograms by multiplying your weight in pounds by 0.454. Then multiply your weight in kilograms by the recommended protein value in grams to obtain your total daily protein needs.To calculate your calorie needs, you have to enter age, gender, height, weight and activity level (includes exercise and other physical activity), which are all needed for the estimation. Finally, enter the percentage of total calories that you want to consume in proteins you can check a list of proteins in common diets below.
Multiply your weight in kilograms by 0.8 to determine how many grams of protein you need per day. For example, if you weigh 68 kilograms, you need about 54 grams of protein per day.Knowing your nutritional needs is just the beginning. Learn why your body needs carbs, fat and protein, along with how to prepare a balanced meal. The 10 Nutrition Myths You Need to Stop Believing.
The data represents the most current scientific knowledge on nutrient needs however individual requirements may be higher or lower than DRI recommendations. By entering height, weight, age, and activity level, you will generate a report of; Body Mass Index, estimated daily calorie needs in addition to the recommended intakes of macronutrients.Since most people should consume 0.8 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, this means that the RDA formula is: (0.8 gram of protein) x (weight in kilograms) Given this guideline, most men should consume about 71 grams of protein per day, because 0.8 x 88.77 = 71.016.Step 1: Find your estimated daily calorie needs to meet your goal. Step 2: Aim to consume 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (or your amount of choice).
Step 3: Fill the rest of your calories with carbohydrates and fat as you see fit. Some prefer a higher carbohydrate approach, while others prefer a high-fat, moderate-carbohydrate approach.How to Calculate Your Protein Needs Date: Friday, March 16, 2018. Do you know how much protein you should be eating? Here’s how you can calculate your protein needs, as well as a list of how much protein some common foods contain.
Supplements should be used when you need a convenient source of protein and generally, should not make up more than 35% of your daily protein intake. For example, if 160 grams of protein is your daily intake, I would advise no more than 56 grams should come from protein supplements (160 x.35 = 56).The ranges listed below are the maximum recommended amounts.
Many athletes consume more protein than they need even without the use of protein supplements. Strength-training athletes (e.g. weightlifting) (Training sessions average over 2 hours): Maximum recommended protein intake: 1.4 1.8 grams protein/day.

James Is a certified kidney coach…. so “Steve be nice and control your testosterone surges” * * Coach, your formula for how much protein we should have in our diet is accurate according to my college studies on nutrition. Thank you for the quick review. I will use it right now. I am about stage 3 and looking forward to increasing my GFR and improving my renal management process. QUESTION have you found any info. on our body’s intolerance to foods, insect repellants or medications over the counter??? thank you for being so encouraging. I think we need more certified health coaches for specific disease. shalom!!
I think it is fantastic that you have gone from a stage 5 to a stage 3. Great work! I am also amazed that you have so much sugar in your diet even though it is in just the fruit you eat. Were you ever diagnosed with Diabetes at all?
I went on a carnivore diet over six months ago and found that splitting my protein and fat macros almost in half is the way to stay lean and keep the muscle on. At first I was eating a whole lotta fat (70% of TDEE) where protein 30%. This equaled to about 170g for my 160 pound weight. Doing this split was still keeping me out of the lean zone while in a caloric maintenance. When I increased protein to around 45-50% of my TDEE, then the fat started to come off.
But there is a cap right where too much protein defeats what you need? for instance I’m 267 lbs at about 7-8% now. if I start calculating 267 at 1.5 g it’s almost 400 g. Justin mentioned that I should calculate for the 200 lb person for my protein needs.
Hey Jim, I am not sure on whether to use carbs or not in my post workout meal/shake for either hypertrophy/fat loss. Ori Hofmekler and Chad Waterbury say not too. I am super confused about how to go about this. As a student I need carbs post-workout to focus on studying/work and this is difficult while following the protocol. Any advice would be magnificent. Thank you in advance.
If anyone with kideney disease is listening to this only eat the amount of protein your dr says you should eat. Seriously talk to your own dr about protein intake.everyone kidney situation is diffrent
Dear Mr James,
Thank you very much for your generosity and kindness in teaching us wisdom of kidney health.
We love you.
You are better than a doctor. You’re a genuine and thorough gentleman.
You’re a genius.
We’re worried about protein in my kidneys as I am a diabetic since 1987.
I am very happy that I found your Dadvice TV.com.
I am a kidney warrior. I was afflicted with cancer in 2007.

You really need a medical disclaimer at the beginning of every video stating that you are not a doctor, the advice you are sharing is what worked for you and before anyone tries it they should consult with their physician first. This video is a prime example of what you could open yourself up to if it were followed by someone in either stage 4 or 5 of CKD. The formula you are stating is designed to calculate the amount of protein for someone who either has no kidney issues or is in stage 1. As an end stage patient myself, if I followed this formula my creatinine would be so high in just 2 days that I would be in the range for either a heart attack or stroke caused by my kidney’s inability to clear the excess protein byproduct.
This is not meant to sound harsh as I enjoy almost all your videos but without the proper disclaimers and warnings something like this, for example, could literally kill me. While I work with doctors at the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins and Mass. General as well as the King’s College Hospital NHS Trust that specializes in both liver and kidney issues in England (what can I say, I’ve been sick for a very long time) and 2 “naturopaths” in China, disseminating medical information without a disclaimer could literally put you in more legal trouble than you can imagine. To avoid that, again, all you have to do is put up a disclaimer at the beginning of each video: “I’m not a doctor, this information is for educational and informational purposes only, be sure to consult your physician/nephrologist before attempting to try anything you see in these videos.” Just a still frame on screen after you show your DADVICE TV logo for enough time to read it is all it takes to protect you. As I said before, I like the fact that you are putting information out there but if you miss something (like this protein calculation for people with “normal” kidneys and not CKD), if someone were injured by this and there is no disclaimer at the beginning of the video before the information is presented if someone were hurt or worse because they just followed the information…well, not being able to make videos would be the least of your problems. Again, I know this sounds harsh but I think the majority of your videos put out great information but a mistake like the protein calculation could literally kill someone. I don’t know who gave it to you or if you found it on line but if it was from a human source you should probably cross that person off your list of contacts for kidney information if they didn’t tell you this is for people with no major kidney deficiencies.
1g per pound! i think and just think that what they tell us so we buy supplements
Question Does CKD affect skin color on face? I have dark raccoon eyes.
DOCTORS CAN’T KNOW EVERYTHING AND IF THEY CLAIM TO; RUN IN THE OPSITE DIRECTION AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE. I PERSONALLY THINK NURSE PRACTITIONERS ARE BETTER BECAUSE THEY ARE USUALLY EXCELLENT TEACHERS AND HAVE YOU AS A VALUED PART OF YOUR HEALTHCARE TEACH. SORY, I DID NOT MEAN TO USE UPPERCASING.
I weigh 225 lbs and I getting around 120g protein. I find it very difficult to get 1g per pound through food. can’t take protein powder because my skin reacts and I get acne from it. how important is it really to get that much protein?
Doesn’t this depend on the exercises number of sets and reps performed how heavy or light all of course with good form and 1 to 1 ratio resting versus performance.You rarely see an avid lifter or recommend yoga or stretching to keep muscles joints more flexible while lifting will definitely tighten the shoulders is an area that’s tighter than most along with hamstrings and Quads
They broke down what the Rock does for protein. He does over 400g of protein. I have been trying to cram 150g of protein into a 250lbs body. I know I have to take more but with fasting for 16 hours gets rough.
I think most people can get a really good ballpark lbm by looking up pics of how different body fat percentages look around the belly. LBM is the way to go. An obese 250 lb guy and a jacked 250 lb guy with shredded abs have vastly different protein needs. The obese guy probably needs no more than 160 grams of protein and the jacked guy would benefit from 250 grams of protein. That’s almost a 400 calorie difference the obese guy doesn’t need.
So a 340lb person trying to lose weight should be consuming 510g of protein?? Seems like a lot.
Until now I’ve read numerous studies and articles that suggest 1,5-2 grams per kg of body weight. In your video you suggest that amount per pound of body weight though which sounds a lot! Can you back up this advice with scientific evidence Jim? I’m very pleased to hear from you.
I weigh 240 lbs. you don’t think 480 g of protein is too much?
I have to thank you for this info. Of all the so called CKD dietitian videos on YT only this one gives you the right answer.
So I’m at 360 from 417….Do I calculate for my current weight or my goal weight??.250 is my goal weight…
Thanks for all these tips and plans Jim! You’re the reason I am where I am today! Also how much saturated fats am I supposed to get daily to bulk? 1/4 my bodyweight? Thanks!!
