Answer 1

1 gr for each kg you have.

Answer 2

You should be getting a 1/3 of your body weight in grams of protein a day and maybe a little more because of your intense workout.  So probably 45 for your work-out days and 41 for your non-workout days!

Answer 3

Find the right amount of protein recommended for your diet, using

this protein calculator, based on your age, height, gender and frame

Answer 4

175 grams. Really it depends on what you eat, if you eat a 6 oz steak you get alot of high quality protein. When you eat sumthin like pasta it might have the same amount of protein, but your body can only absorb about 50% of the pasta and 70% of the steak.

Answer 5

About 80  grams on the days you work out. A lot of ppl drink a protein laden supplement within 45 minutes of the workout.

The referenced article is worth a good read.

Answer 6

if you are weight training you need 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight you weigh. if not the rda is 45 grams

Answer 7

you need every day about 45 grams of protein but on your workout days you  should get about 55
