THE RDA IS A LOT LESS THAN OTHER GUIDELINES, MOST OF WHICH ARE MUCH HIGHER. I AM USING MY OWN AVERAGE SO I CAN DETERMINE MY NUMBERS ARE WITHIN SAFE AND ACCEPTED PARAMETERS FOR THE POPULACE.
BODYWEIGHT (BW) X % OF PROTEIN RECOMMENDED = GRAMS (GM) OF PROTEIN TO BE INGESTED PER DAY.
FORMULA: BW / 2.2 X .8 - 1.7 (Sedentary/Pro Bodybuilder/Powerlifter/ Elite Athlete).
Examples: FOR EXACT NUMBERS
165lbs / 2.2 = 75 X .8 = 60GM. Sedentary
1.1 = 83GM. Pro Bodybuilder
1.5=113GM. Powerlifter
1.7 = 128GM. Elite Athlete
SHORTCUT: (Sedentary/Pro Bodybuilder/Powerlifter/ Elite Athlete).
165 X .36% = 60GM
1.1 = X .50% = 83
1.5 = X .69% = 116
1.7 = X .78%129
