How Much Protein <br />Is Enough? It's no secret that our society is protein-obsessed. But when it comes to protein, there isn't a one-size-fits-all. The jury is still out on how much protein <br />seniors need, for example. 1 in 3 Americans aged 51 <br />and up aren't getting enough<br /> protein at all. The general rule of thumb? Eat around .8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. Athletes can feel free <br />to add a bit more. Protein supports muscle growth, cell recovery and other essential body processes. Hummus, eggs, Greek yogurt, lean chicken breast and nuts are great sources of protein.
