Each day, kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound (0.5 kilograms) they weigh. That's a gram for every 2 pounds (1 kilogram) you weigh. Your protein needs will grow as you get bigger, but then they will level off when you reach adult size. Adults, for instance, need about 60 grams per day.
Boys of the same age need an average of 2,000 calories each day, so protein should account for 200 to 600 of their calories. Boys and girls 9 to 13 need the same .95 grams of protein for each kilogram of body weight, making the recommended dietary allowance for kids in this range 34 grams per day.he Institute of Medicine recommends kids between the ages of one and three eat enough protein to account for 5 to 20 percent of their total calorie intake each day. For a moderately active child who averages 1,200 calories per day, between 60 and 240 of those calories should come from protein sources.
