However, athletes trying to build muscle need 0.6 to 0.82 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day, according to a review published in a 2011 edition of the âJournal of Sports Sciences.â For example, a 160-pound man trying to bulk up may need up to 131 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.
