Very helpful article! As someone with EDS, it was helpful to be reminded that strength training “ holds joints in their proper positions”, which is particularly important for those of us who have extra bendy bodies.
Thanks Debra! You should calculate protein based on your goal body weight, but there is some research saying that if you're trying to lose weight, you should calculate protein needs at 1.6 grams per kilograms. I'll talk about that more in my next post.

Muscles are amazing!
Great article! I’m always trying to convince friends to add weight training.
A question about protein: what about if you are really overweight? Should I calculate protein from current weight or goal weight? Currently 235
