Know Your Daily Protein Requirement with Protein-O-Meter

Proteins are one of three important macronutrients used by bodily organisms to produce energy to sustain bodily functions. They are made of 20 different types of amino acids, where the human body produces 11 of these amino acids, and the other 9 “essential amino acids” are attained through daily protein intake. It also helps build and repair cells and body tissue and helps regulate them.

Not only does protein intake help in staying active throughout the day but can also help in reducing mid-meal food cravings, burn fat and maintain a healthy heart. It accelerates wound healing by lowering inflammation and generating new tissue at the damaged site. And, it also aids in the production of antibodies that fight infections and disorders, as well as the maintenance and regeneration of cells.

The recommended daily amount of protein intake for an individual is 0.8 grams of protein per kg of the body weight. However, the ideal amount of daily protein intake per person is based on several factors, including age, gender, activity, health, overall diet and other variables. Whereas, if you are an individual who is a sportsperson or into exercising often, based on a study by RDI you must consume somewhere between to 1.2 to 1.7 grams per kg of body weight each day.

The public health initiative Right to Protein aims to raise widespread awareness about the critical need of enough and high-quality proteins in the daily diets. As a part of the initiative, an online general protein intake calculator named the Protein O Meter has also been designed based on the unique dietary patterns.
