How much protein do you need?

Answer 1

The Federal government's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 gram per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, the daily RDA for protein would be about 67 grams of protein. However, your daily protein requirements vary considerably according to factors such as lifestyle, physical condition, overall health, age, gender, carbohydrate intake, training level, and the type, duration and intensity of physical exercise.
