Frequently Asked Questions
The general recommendation is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogramme of body weight for sedentary men, or roughly 56 grams per day for a 70kg man. However, active individuals and those engaged in resistance training should aim for 1.2-2.0 grams per kilogramme depending on training intensity. Our detailed guide explores how to calculate your specific needs and identify quality protein sources.
A well-planned diet should provide most essential nutrients. However, certain individuals may benefit from supplementation—such as those with restricted diets, poor absorption, or very high training volume. Specific gaps like vitamin D in winter months or magnesium during stress are common. Our articles discuss which nutrients might warrant supplementation based on individual circumstances and dietary patterns.
Zinc plays a vital role in immune function, protein synthesis, and numerous enzymatic reactions. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, energy production, and nervous system function. Both are commonly depleted through sweat during exercise and stress. Our guides explore recommended daily intakes (11mg zinc, 400-420mg magnesium for men), food sources like pumpkin seeds, oysters, and dark leafy greens, and signs of deficiency.
Start by assessing your current intake and identifying gaps. Determine your caloric needs based on activity level and goals. Structure your plate around lean proteins, whole grains, healthy fats, and colourful vegetables. Track your progress and adjust based on how you feel and perform. Our lifestyle guides provide step-by-step strategies for meal planning, grocery shopping, and maintaining consistency over time.
B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folate) are essential cofactors in energy metabolism, converting food into usable ATP. They also support red blood cell formation and nervous system function. Deficiency leads to fatigue, weakness, and poor concentration. Our B-complex guide discusses individual vitamin functions, recommended daily amounts (varying from 1.1mg for B1 to 2.4mcg for B12), and optimal food sources including eggs, fish, mushrooms, and fortified cereals.
