Protein is critical for tissue and muscle repair and recovery after a hard workout. Depending on training and nutrition goals, young athletes and masters athletes alike are looking to consume between 1.2 and 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. This can be difficult — particularly earlier in the day, immediately after a workout, or when you’re on the go!
