A member asked:

I want to build body like jason statham.i do weight and cardio training.how much protein should i take? is whey protein is safe to take.25 yrs,75 kg .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: Not really a medical question or answer but as a fellow gym junkie whey is safe. Two grams protein per KG is a good start so 150 g per day. Try limiting cardio and using a basal calorie expenditure calculator to figure weight gain if that is your goal.
