Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to know about protein requirement for healthy person . Well teenage like need around 52 grams a day. But if your are doing strenuous exercises like weight lifting then your body require more protein then normal . The extra protein your require depend upon the the type of exercises , duration , strength and duration of exercises . I would suggest you to consult nutritionist for proper evaluation of your condition and prescribe right amount of protein .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
