What Nursing Assistants and Orderlies Do. Nursing assistants, sometimes called nursing aides, help provide basic care for patients in hospitals and residents of long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. Orderlies transport patients and clean treatment areas.
Hereâs a good basic target for adults up to age 65: A 120-pound person should aim for at least 48 grams of protein daily; a 180-pound person should aim for at least 72 grams of protein daily. Protein intake for adults over 65 is slightly higher.
Sheâd simply multiply 130 by 1-1.2 and get a daily protein intake of between 130-156 grams per day. Now letâs say a 180lb man wanted to build muscle, or maintain muscle while losing fat, or improve strength/performance. Heâd do 180 x 1-1.5 and get a daily protein intake of between 180-270 grams per day. Basically, just multiply your current body weight in pounds by your recommended ideal protein intake. The answer you get is the ideal range for how many grams of protein you should eat per day.
