With so many available protein options, it can be hard to choose the right one for muscle growth.

Protein needs vary based on age, sex, and goals, among other things.
General adults: In general, everyone 18 and older needs 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (g/kg) each day.2 (Something to keep in mind: This amount is the minimum to maintain health and doesn’t take physical activity into account.)
Older adults: For people 65 years and older, research suggests upping protein to 1.0-1.2 g/kg per day to prevent muscle loss associated with aging.2
Athletes: Active people should take in 1.4-2.0 g/kg every day to help with recovery and support muscle growth from training.3
