The Claim
For optimal recovery following moderate-intensity exercise lasting 60 minutes, human carbohydrate intake should be 5 to 7 grams per kilogram of body weight and protein intake should be 1.5 to 1.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you've just done an hour of medium-intensity exercise, eating 5–7 grams of carbs and 1.5–1.8 grams of protein for every kilogram you weigh can help your body recover best.
