Nutritional Fitness FAQs

How much protein do I need?

Most adults fall in the 50-80 gram/day range (.8gms/kgDBW), but some factors affect this calculation, such as gender, activity level, and disease state (if applicable), to name a few.

Excessive intake over a prolonged period may be as detrimental as prolonged inadequate intake. Concentrate on healthy and well-balanced eating.

What is a complete protein?

A complete or whole protein contains all the essential amino acids.

How much water should I drink each day?

Thirst is not a good indicator of hydration status. By the time you notice thirst, you may already be dehydrated. A reasonable goal is to aim for 6-8 glasses of water a day, keeping in mind that most foods contain water, which counts toward reaching your daily intake goal.

What is the difference between a probiotic and a prebiotic?

Probiotics are said to restore our gut’s good bacteria (or good flora), helping the good flora flourish and protect gut maintenance.

Meanwhile, prebiotics stimulate the growth of probiotics and strengthen their ability to prevent various conditions associated with poor gut health.

Is gluten necessary for maintaining a well-balanced diet?

With all the advances in gluten-free food choices, it is possible to maintain a well-balanced and palatable diet without gluten. Gluten is not included in the daily requirements to maintain a healthy diet.
