Protein Needs. Most people need around 0.8 grams of protein per day per 2.2 pounds of body weight, according to registered dietitian Reed Mangels. Consuming around 46 grams of protein per day if you're female and 56 grams per day if you're male will meet your protein needs, whether you get your protein from meat or from plant sources.

Three 3-ounce meat servings per day would supply all your protein needs, but this much meat could include a large amount of saturated fat, which could increase your risk of heart disease.
