For example the median expected annual pay for a typical Surgeon-Trauma in the United States is $361,976, so 50% of the people who perform the job of Surgeon-Trauma in the United States are expected to make less than $361,976.
However, this is too much protein for any woman to consume, including very active women. According to the Institute of Medicine, women should consume at least 46 grams of protein every day. Individualized needs are based on a womanâs total calorie intake. Harvard Medical School suggests women consume about 15 percent of their daily calories from protein; since protein provides 4 calories per gram, this is about 75 grams of protein per day for women consuming 2,000-calorie diets.
According to American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommendations, most active adults only need 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. (A kilogram is 2.2 pounds.) So a person who weighs 125 pounds needs 45 to 57 g of protein in a day; for someone who weighs 175 pounds, itâs 65 to 80 g. Serious athletes need a bit more, but weâll get to that in a minute.
