Protein Needs by Age Group and Activity Level

Protein requirements vary depending on age, gender, and physical activity level. However, in general, the following age groups have higher protein needs:

• Children: Protein helps build and repair tissues, including muscles, bones, skin, and hair.

• Teenagers (14-18 years old): They need protein due to their rapid growth rate, high physical activity levels, and hormonal changes during puberty.

• Adults (19-64 years old): Protein helps maintain and repair tissues, supports the immune system, and maintains a healthy weight.

• Older adults (65 years and older): Protein helps support the immune system, maintain cognitive function, and strengthen cardiovascular health.

• Pregnant and lactating women: Protein supports fetal development, increases blood volume, and prepares for childbirth.

• Athletes: Protein helps build muscle and supports cardiovascular health.

In addition, some other cases may also require more protein, such as:

• Malnourished people

• People with burns

• People with injuries

• People who have recently had surgery

Some protein-rich food sources:

• Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, nuts, and seeds
