What amount protein for muscle gain for a 17 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calculate protein : According to “Today’s Dietitian,” young athletes may require 1.0 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, or about 0.45 to 0.68 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. For example, a 125-pound, 15-year-old male athlete may require 56 to 85 grams of protein per day, depending on the duration and intensity of his physical activity.
