Is 100g of protein actually enough for women who lift?
You’ve probably heard the “100 grams of protein a day” rule floating around in fitness spaces. The truth is… it depends. Protein needs are better calculated based on bodyweight. For women training for strength, research generally lands around ~1.6 g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day, within a broader range of 1.4–2.0 g/kg/day depending on training and goals. That means for some women, 100g is perfect.For others, it may actually be too low to support muscle growth and recovery. I wrote a blog breaking this down with simple examples so you can see where you might land.
