Ages 9 and Older. Protein requirements for children ages 9 and older vary based on the childâs age and gender. The Institute of Medicine encourages children ages 9 to 13 to eat at least 34 grams of protein every day; girls ages 14 to 18 need 46 grams of protein; and boys ages 14 to 18 require at least 52 grams of protein each day.
Then multiply that number by 0.8 (not very active), 1.3 (active or pregnant), or 1.8 (extremely active), depending on how much exercise you get. As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.
