The RDA for protein is 0.8 g/kg (0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight). Research suggests that strength athletes may need 1.8 to 2.0 times more than this and that endurance athletes may need 1.50 to 1.75 times more protein than the current RDA.

Based upon these numbers, would you suggest that the average person looking to build more muscle needs additional protein in their diet
