I get asked this question a lot of , how much protein do I need to build muscle after 40? When you get in your 40’s and older, and actually need to consume more protein than when you were younger. When you get older your body wastes muscle, which is called sarcopenia. As you get older you tend to do less active things, especially less physical things. Typically, when you become less active, you tend to lose healthy eating habits. This is going to replace your muscle with fat. Now let’s talk about how much protein do I need to build muscle after 40.

A lot of studies show that you need about 1.6 grams of protein, per kilogram of body weight. So if you are 200 lbs, you need about 144 grams of protein. These studies are done on people with a sedentary lifestyle. However, if you are more active and doing resistance training, you are going to need more protein. I like to keep it simple… You need to have 1 gram of protein per every pound of body weight. For active people, your body will require more protein to maintain and gain muscle.

Now, if you weigh 300 lbs your goal is going to be to lose weight. So you don’t need to eat 300 grams of protein. If you are trying to get rid of fat, I recommend eating 30-40 grams of protein every 3 hours. Focus on this, as opposed to the overall number of grams to eat. When you consume protein, it makes your body burn more calories and fat to break down all of the nutrients. This is called the thermic effect. Another benefit of protein is that it reduces your appetite and hunger. Pairing the protein with fiber is great to help with hunger and cravings. To reiterate with how much protein do I need to build muscle after 40.. You need protein to build muscle, so if you want to build muscle you need to eat more protein.
