Government resources and nutrition experts offer guidelines to help you determine how much protein you should take in. The Institute of Medicine estimates that, on the average, men should get about 56 grams of protein per day and that women should get about 46 grams. It adds that your body breaks down dietary proteins to amino acids.
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.
