Historically speaking, the letters {Ã¤} {Ã¶} {Ã¼} first appeared with an {e} written above the letters (which I've seen still on German signs). Over time, they simplified to two dots. Among European languages there are two kinds of dots that appear over letters. The first kind is called an umlaut which applies a sound change to the base letter. The second kind is called a diÃ¦resis which is required in languages that normally uses two letters to represent one sound, as in English naÃ¯ve or coÃ¶perate (as is still used by the New Yorker magazine), and is used not to change the letter, but to keep it pronounced separately.
As a general rule, between 10 percent and 15 percent of your total calories should come from protein. So, if you consume 2,000 calories per day, at least 200 should come from protein, or about 50 grams. You should try to eat around one gram of protein per one kilogram of body weight, or around 0.4 grams per pound.An easier way to figure this out in your head is to take your weight, divide it in half, and subtract 10. The total will be the number of grams of protein you should consume each day.he other two are carbohydrate and fat. Adequate protein intake is essential for good health: Itâs necessary for maintaining the bodyâs normal growth and its muscle mass (which is mostly protein), its immune system, and heart and respiratory functions.
Men and women protein intake range based on ideal body weight: 1  Minimum Daily Protein Requirement: W.H.O. recommends 0.45 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day. 2  Maximum Daily Protein Requirement: US RDA recommends 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day.
