Nutrition tip: a lot of traditional nutritionists make the statement that on average we need only around 80g of protein per day and no more. This is true BUT do not confuse meeting a need with achieving peak athlete performance. Elite performance is about more than not dying! To experience optimum results on the field and in the gym, you need more than 80g of protein per day. A daily intake of 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight per day is probably a lot closer to the mark. Look to get this from a range of animal sources like beef, chicken, fish, eggs and dairy as these contain all 8 of the essential amino acids the body requires.
