Bump up your protein intake to boost fat loss and preserve your lean mass. The recommended dietary allowance for protein is a minimum of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. An example of a higher-protein diet for weight loss is 1.4 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, which is close to twice the RDA. So for a 180-pound individual, a high-protein diet would include roughly 114 to 122 grams of protein a day.
The Institute of Medicineâs protein RDAs are calculated using 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. This means an adult who weighs 68 kilograms needs at least 54 grams of protein each day. The RDA for pregnant and nursing women is 71 grams of protein per day. Active adults and elderly people likely require more protein than the RDA of 0.8 grams per kilogram.
