You already know that eating protein is necessary for successful weight loss. But you may be asking...how much protein do you need to eat? The amount varies with each individual according to your size and activity level. But, if you're active you should be eating about 0.8 -1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body weight.
If your body fat percentage is 25% then calculate 25% of your weight (25% of 120 pounds) is 30 pounds, so you have 30 pounds of fat in your body. This means your lean bodyweight is 120 - 30 =90 pounds and your protein intake should be approximately 90 grams per day.
Eating the right amount of protein will ensure that your body builds lean muscle while burning off unwanted fat!
Stay lean,
