A member asked:
Can you let me know how many grams of protein do i need per day to gain muscle mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protein & exercise: About one gram of protein per kg of weight is usually sufficient. However, protein alone will not be sufficient, you need to add gradually increasing intensity of vigorous exercise, such as weight training.
