GRAMS DAILY*
Here is the recommended amount of protein (listed in grams) you should be consuming per day. Meeting this amount of protein per day can be accomplished through a combination of meals and Ascent Protein.
Timing and spacing of protein servings matter as your body cannot “store” protein for future use (*6).
Here’s a good framework for how to think about achieving your target number each day:
