How much protein is healthy to eat?

Home More advice Nutrition & Fitness

Okay, Im a personal trainer and former military, and I like to work out and compete in fitness competitions. I usually answer a lot of the "weight loss" questions on this site but there is one question I am not sure about. I read somewhere that if you are working out you should consume enough protein for your body to build the muscle and repair the muscles. Now, I also read some where that you should consume only the amount of protein of pounds you 'want' to weigh. For example, if I want to weigh 125 lbs I need to consume only 125 g of protein per day. Is this true?? How much is enough protein?
