Xsport Ernie Rizzato: ⭐️ https://blog.xsportfitness.com/eat-healthy/high-protein-diet-benefits-tips/ ⭐️ While there are variables when it comes to the amount of protein we should include in our diet for optimal health, many of us active folks focused on fitness could benefit from a high protein diet. Because your protein can come from whole foods from both animals and plants and supplements like powders and food products like bars, we compare a few easy sources you can count on. We asked one of our resident experts, XSport’s National Director of Operations Ernie Rizzato, to tell us why a high protein diet can be a good idea, and to share some classic ways to make it happen. Ernie mentions that recent research continues to demonstrate the potential benefits of adding protein to the average diet, especially for those who are trying to slim down, get lean, build muscle or support physical performance. Studies have shown: Even when overall calories are the same, a diet that is higher in protein was found to lead to more fat loss than a lower protein diet. More muscle is preserved, and/or gained with a high protein diet (keeping calories the same again). Less belly fat is another benefit attributed to a high protein diet. It’s also more difficult for your body to convert protein into body fat than other macronutrients So what is “higher” as far as a high protein diet is concerned? The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for protein is 50 grams per day, or 10% of a 2000 calorie diet. However, some researchers believe that many people should be eating more than this, due to the benefits mentioned above. The generally recommended range is 10 – 35% of your daily calories coming from protein, depending on your goals, training, and other needs (higher percentages for athletes in training, pregnant women, etc.). For a 2000 calorie diet, that range is 200 – 700 calories, which equals 50 grams – 175 grams of protein per day.
