How to Calculate Your Protein Needs

To further your resilience, check out the Daily 21s movement program here:

In this video, Tim does something new. We are talking about protein today. First time ever. BUT, protein helps you move, so it's worth talking about.

Any upcoming protein snax recipes to go with our movement snax? 😋

I like the palms method. I dont think ive seen that before. very intuitive.

Appreciate your emphasis on desired weight and based on Kilograms vs Pounds. I so often see the kilogram recommended applied directly to pounds.

Great video. I was wondering where you are on carb intake and meal frequency. Thanks!

Thanks for the amazing explanation, I have a question do we calculate the needed protein based on the total weight, or we calculate the weight after deleting the fat percentage. Like example if a person weight 100kg with body fat percentage 20%. In this case does we multiply 1, 6 by 100 or by 80.
I read many opinions and would like to hear what is your point of view

Thanks...your explanation is very useful!

Tim, would adding collagen into my morning smoothie be considered the protein? I use vital proteins and it’s 25 g of protein per serving, so would that be counted as part of that palm? Hope that makes sense. Thank you.

Thanks, Tim.
Based on this, I need 110 g, approximately. However, I struggle to eat even 85 g of protein, which is what I aim for currently. This is even more of a struggle on my fasting days (fasting 2-3 days a week has been extremely beneficial for me). I take a scoop of protein powder but any more can cause digestive issues.
Any advice?

This is really well put Tim. So for you that would be about a pound of lean meat a day? And BTW you are looking yoked at the moment!

i think fat is important as well. A lot of vitamins need fats to be absorbed. Fat helps with digestion especially for vegans who are relying on plant food for their source of protein.

You only weigh 160 lbs Tim?? You're huge! I know you're lean but still. Great video (as always)!

Great video. Thank You for emphasizing the importance of protein.

Thought it was 1g per pound of body weight

How'd you get a neck like that? Hha

Please be honest...plant protein is not as bio-available to the human body. Animal protein is optimum for the human body.
