For sedentary adults, about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body mass is recommended.

If, for instance, you are 70 kg, it is recommended that you have:

70 kg x 0.8 grams protein per kg per day = 56 grams protein per day

However, it should be noted that this is the general rule for sedentary adults. It is widely agreed that up to 1.8 grams per kilogram of body mass are needed for active adults engaged in strength training or intense endurance training. For the average person, the easiest way to determine how much protein is needed it to divide their weight in half. For example, a 150 pound person would need 75 grams of protein a day, ideally.
