Expert Explains Protein Intake and Timing for Recreational Strength Training
Hyderabad-based Dr. Sudhir Kumar advises that for recreational strength trainers, total daily protein intake matters more than immediate post-workout consumption. He recommends about 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight daily, spread across meals, rather than excessive amounts or strict timing. Protein supplements are optional if dietary needs are met. Dr. Kumar also emphasizes the importance of progressive training, adequate calories, and sufficient sleep for muscle growth and recovery.
