Each day, kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound (0.5 kilograms) they weigh. That's a gram for every 2 pounds (1 kilogram) you weigh. Your protein needs will grow as you get bigger, but then they will level off when you reach adult size. Adults, for instance, need about 60 grams per day.
Authors of this review recommend you consume no more than 2.5 grams of protein per kilogram, or about 1.1 gram of protein per pound of body weight each day. Therefore, the maximum safe amount of protein for a 50-year-old, 135-pound woman is 149 grams of protein per day. 50-year-old woman should aim to consume a minimum of 46 grams of protein per day.
