wie viel eiweiß brauche ich — what are common causes?

The recommended daily protein intake for a healthy adult is about 0.8 g per kilogram of body weight (DGE, WHO). Athletes, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and older adults may need 1.2–2.0 g/kg. Common causes for increased protein needs include: intense strength or endurance training, muscle building or recovery phases, illness (e.g., after surgery, burns), and certain diets (e.g., low‑carb). Protein deficiency can lead to muscle wasting, weakened immunity, and edema – but is rare in developed countries. MyBody‑X tests do not directly analyze protein requirements; they focus on metabolism and genetic variants that may indirectly affect nutrient utilization. For personalized protein recommendations, consult a dietitian and consider lab values (e.g., albumin, urea). Caveat: Do not rely on consumer DNA tests for medical dosing advice.
