How much protein per day?

[Yarik]

Studies recommend an intake of 1.2-1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight) when working out. You should supply your body with more protein than you break down training to ensure your muscles can recover and grow.

Altough, that's the recommended dose, it seems not enough to me. I intake around 2.5-3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight and nothing negative has happened to me.

What's your daily protein intake? Do you think it's enough for you?

To be very honest with you I don't think I calculate how much protein I take in a day because I don't even know how to calculate it. But after reading about this right now I am going to put my mind into calculating how much I should be consuming on daily basis.

I don't calculate how much protein I am getting every day, but my diet plan consists of enough protein. Instead of animal protein, I like to get plant-based protein.

I believe that plant-based protein is better because it doesn't contain calories that is harmful for your health when you consume it in larger quantities.
