Protein: How Much Do You Really Need Every Day?

Why Protein Matters More Than People Think

Protein is the foundation of every cell, hormone, and muscle in the body. It repairs tissue, regulates metabolism, and keeps hunger under control. Getting enough each day can mean the difference between steady energy and constant cravings.

How Much Protein the Body Really Needs

Most adults hear the baseline number of 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight, but that’s only enough to prevent deficiency. For optimal health, muscle maintenance, and weight management, aim for these ranges:

The Everyday Challenge of Eating Enough Protein

Hitting 100 + grams daily can feel impossible if every meal relies on eggs and chicken. The trick is to add protein where you least expect it... like dessert.

That’s where protein desserts, mug cakes, and whey cakes change the game. They deliver real nutrition in foods you actually crave.

Why Whey Protein Works So Well

Whey is one of the most studied proteins in the world. It digests quickly, provides all nine essential amino acids, and supports muscle recovery. In baking, it helps create a soft, fluffy texture, making a whey protein cake every bit as satisfying as a traditional one.

For Muscle Gain: Feed Recovery All Day

• Spread protein evenly across meals (25–35 g each).

• Include a post-workout serving of whey protein or a slice of protein cake.

• Choose snacks that satisfy taste and recovery needs, like a quick mug cake made from BĀK mix.

For Weight Loss: Protein Keeps You Full

Higher-protein meals stabilize blood sugar and curb cravings. A healthy dessert at night helps you stay on track because it feels indulgent without setting you back.
