You wish! Working out is what counts when it comes to your dream body. By taking in more protein than your body needs to build muscle, you don’t just magically turn into a muscle man (or woman). Protein also contains calories. If your body gets too much energy (calories), it will start building fat depots.

It’s a key question for athletes and in recent years, it’s also being asked by a broadening section of the world’s population: How much protein should people ideally consume?

There is, of course, no single answer. Current science does tell us, however, that optimal protein consumption patterns are likely to depend on a number of factors, with the key ones identified thus far being age, physical activity, protein sources and meal amount. In any case, the condition of skeletal muscle is a vital issue for people at all stages and from all walks of life.

This amounts to:

• 56 grams per day for the average sedentary man.
• 46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman

However, we at Beyoung don’t want you to use your precious time in calibrating different food to gain the said amount of Protein daily. We recommend an easy formula, ready to drink Mix - My Daily Protein Shake – 9 Roles one Original Protein!!
