Protein needs depend on age, size, and activity level. The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate the minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply your body weight in kilograms by 0.8, or weight in pounds by 0.37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. According to this method, a person weighing 150 pounds should eat about 55 grams of protein per day, a 200-pound person should get 74 grams, and a 250-pound person should eat 92 grams.
Studies show that 12 percent of men and 24 percent of women over age 70 eat significantly less than 0.8 g/kg a day. These higher recommendations do not translate into a lot of extra protein. To figure out how much protein you'd need, take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 0.45. Then multiply by 1.2 to reach the recommended grams of protein per day. For a person who weighs 200 lb (90 kg), this would equal about 108 g of protein daily. Most meat, poultry and fish have about 7 grams of protein in an ounce. One cup of milk or one egg has about 8 grams.
