I have a 30+ year old decorative apple tree which produces small 1/2 fruit most every year. I also this last winter grew several Red Delicious trees from seed. After these grow a couple years can they be grafted onto the old thee and will they produce Red Delicious apples.
The US Department of Agriculture recommends that all men and women over the age of 19 should get at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (or 0.37 grams per pound). That means a woman who is 130 pounds should get at least 48 grams of protein, which could look like 7 ounces of salmon or 7 eggs. However, thatâs the bare minimum requirement. Depending on your daily activities, you still may not be getting enough.
Each gram of protein has four calories, so for a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that equals 75 to 100 grams of protein per day. A person who eats 1,500 calories per day would need about 55 to 75 grams per day. That's quite a spread, but you can narrow it down by basing your protein needs on your body weight. The average adult needs about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. One kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, so a person who weighs 165 pounds (75kg) would need about 60 grams of protein per day. A few weight loss diets suggest upping your intake of protein, but that may not really be necessary.
