How much protein do I need per day?
The RDA for adults is 0.8 g per kg of body weight. Active people are usually advised 1.2-1.6 g/kg, and people building muscle or dieting while keeping muscle 1.6-2.2 g/kg. Adults over 65 are often advised 1.0-1.2 g/kg.
Should I use my current weight or goal weight?
Use your current weight if you are near a healthy weight. With a lot of body fat to lose, your goal weight gives a more realistic target.
