Protein makes up 16% of our body weight. It is essential for all organs even hair and skin. How much protein does a person need? This depends on the size of the person, the age and the level of activity the person does. There is mathematical calculation to find out how much protein is required for each person.  The body weight is multiplied with a figure. For example, if you have measured your weight in kilograms then that weight should be multiplied with.8. If it is in pounds then the multiplication should be with .37. The resulting figure is the protein requirement, in grams, for you.

Fats and glucose can be stored in the body but protein cannot be stored like that. Two days of no protein diet and the body system starts showing its symptoms on the muscles. Muscles break down. So protein rich food is very useful and healthy for everyone. It is only for people with kidney failures that a protein rich diet is not advised. Eat those proteins and be healthy.
