However, there are vastly different opinions on how much protein we actually need. Most official nutrition organizations recommend a fairly modest protein intake. The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. This amounts to: 1  56 grams per day for the average sedentary man.  46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman.
However, those figures are based on a recommendation of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which makes them accurate for women who weigh about 125 pounds and men who weigh about 155 pounds. If you weigh more or are more active, you probably need more protein.ice University recommends that active adults get up to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight and that athletes intending to build muscle mass get up to 1.8 grams per kilogram. A scoop of protein powder has about 20 grams of protein, and a 3-ounce grilled chicken breast has 26 grams.
