how much protein should you eat per day to maximize muscle growth well the latest research analyzing 49 studies found that you really only need 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight so if you weigh 175 pounds or 80 kilos 130 grams of protein per day will max out your gains and going beyond that as quote no further benefit on gains now if you’re in a caloric deficit for fat loss or you want to be extra safe going as high as one gram per pound May provide some extra anabolic insurance but is probably Overkill and if you’re overweight you should use your goal weight instead of your current weight how do you space your protein out is less important but eating three to six high protein meals is better than just one or two meals per day try to eat some protein within a five hour window around your workout and amino acid supplements don’t seem to work as long as you’re eating enough protein protein sources shouldn’t really matter as long as you hit your daily total and you should count protein from all food sources but since animal proteins are usually higher in leucine than vegan proteins you might want to add a few extra grams of protein to vegan meals
