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.
According to the Institute of Medicine, 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight, is used to determine protein RDAs. Therefore, a 50-year-old woman needs a minimum of 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day, equaling about 49 grams of protein per day for a 135-pound woman.
