Daily Protein Intake: How Much Protein To Build Muscle?
http://www.SeanNal.com/articles/nutrition/how-many-grams-of-protein-per-day.php

Protein is without a doubt the most important nutrient for those looking to gain muscle size and strength, but how many grams of protein per day is optimal in order to maximize your gains?

Most people go way overboard here and make the mistake of thinking that "if some is good, more must be better". Your body can only synthesize a limited amount of muscle on any given day, and there's only so much protein that you require in order to max out this process.

So, what is the ideal protein intake for muscle growth and strength building purposes? My suggestion is to stick to the basic figure of 1g of protein per pound of body weight each day. So if you weighed 160 pounds, you would aim for 160 grams of protein.

The research has shown that daily protein for bodybuilding purposes can go a bit lower than this (around 0.82 grams per pound), but consuming a bit more is not going to be harmful in any way and will ensure that you're on the safe side and definitely receiving enough each day.

Optimal protein intake does vary depending on lean body mass (leaner individuals can consume a bit more while those with more body fat can consume less), but again, in order to keep things simple, the 1g guideline is a good structure to follow.

So, how much protein per day to build muscle do I recommend? Just go with 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily, and base your protein intake around high quality sources such as a poultry, seafood, lean red meat, whey, lean pork and low fat dairy.
