A member asked:
How much protein (whey/casein) should i uptake if i go to the gym 3 times a week, female, 25 y.o. 114 lb? what else should i take to get stronger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoot for: 3/4 to 1 mg of protein per lb. Body weight per day if training hard and hoping to put on some mass, from a variety of sources both dietary and supplements. Experiment with lesser and greater amounts. One size doesn't fit everyone & leser amounts may be appropriate for people with kidney issues. Hope this is helpful!
