How Does Protein Intake Differ For Athletes Compared To Non-athletes?

Athletes generally require more protein than non-athletes to support muscle repair and growth due to their higher levels of physical activity. While non-athletes need about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, athletes may need 1.2 to 2.0 grams per kilogram, depending on their sport and training intensity.
