Building muscle requires enough daily protein, matched to body weight. Here is a clear way to set the target for someone who weighs 167 lb.

Step 1: Convert Weight to Kilograms

Use 1 kg = 2.2 lb.
Weight in kg = 167 ÷ 2.2 = 75.91 kg.

Step 2: Apply the Bodybuilding Range

A common guideline for hypertrophy is 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

• Lower end: 75.91 kg × 1.6 g/kg ≈ 121.46 g
• Higher end: 75.91 kg × 2.2 g/kg ≈ 167.00 g

Final Target

A 167 lb lifter should aim for about 121 to 167 grams of protein per day. Choose a point in the range based on training volume, overall calories, and personal preference.

Quick Ways to Hit the Goal

• 1 cup Greek yogurt + 1 scoop whey: ~45 g
• 6 oz cooked chicken breast: ~50 g
• 3 whole eggs plus 1 cup egg whites: ~36 g
• 1 can tuna: ~25 g

Mix and match to reach the daily total while keeping calories and carbs or fats aligned with your broader plan.
