Essential Protein Tips for Fat Loss and Muscle Maintenance

To lose body fat while maintaining lean muscle, it is recommended to consume 1.6 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, with higher amounts for very active or overweight individuals. Adequate protein intake helps promote satiety, regulate appetite hormones, and preserve muscle mass during calorie deficits, which is crucial for effective fat loss and muscle maintenance. The exact amount varies based on activity level, age, gender, and individual metabolism, and can be increased through foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and plant-based proteins.
