Doctor of Philosophy. Despite what the name might suggest, this isn't a degree for philosophers exclusively. A Ph.D is the doctorate-level degree granted in a variety of different disciplines.
The US Department of Agriculture recommends that all men and women over the age of 19 should get at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (or 0.37 grams per pound). That means a woman who is 130 pounds should get at least 48 grams of protein, which could look like 7 ounces of salmon or 7 eggs. However, thatâs the bare minimum requirement. Depending on your daily activities, you still may not be getting enough.
Because potatoes arenât particularly rich in protein, they wonât do much to help you meet your protein recommendation. You need at least 56 grams of protein daily, if youâre male, the Food and Nutrition Board notes. As a woman, you should aim for 46 grams a day -- 71 grams if youâre pregnant or nursing. A 3-ounce potato gives you less than 5 percent of your daily protein needs, depending on which demographic you fall into.
