Is there a way to measure how much protein a person should consume per day based on their body weight? The objective is to burn fat and maximize metabolism.

If you're trying to build muscle and lose fat, I've heard it's about 1 gram per 1 pound of body weight.

This is wrong, it would be way too much. What you probably meant to say is 1 gram per pound of lean body weight. – Andreas Bonini Mar 02 '11 at 19:22

No, My trainers recommended exactly what PMV is saying. I think he's right. – jumpcutking Jan 16 '12 at 01:10
