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.
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. A 3-ounce portion of meat contains 21 to 24 grams of protein. 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.
