“Hi Fred! Thanks for your interest. Remember, these values are general guidelines and not absolute values. References are from Dietitians of Australia, Sports Dietitians Australia and the American Heart Association.Hope this helps.”

After reading your article, I have a few questions.

You said:

“An endurance athlete requires about 1.2-1.4g per kilogram of body weight. A person who participates in a regular strength training program requires 1.6-1.7g per kg per day.”

“Too much (protein) may also increase uric acid levels in the blood, increase calcium losses in the urine…”

What scientific references are you using to support these statements/recommendations?

Thanks!
