Doctor of Philosophy. Despite what the name might suggest, this isn't a degree for philosophers exclusively. A Ph.D is the doctorate-level degree granted in a variety of different disciplines.
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.
Because men take in more calories per day, they need more protein than women. The average man in the Unites States takes in about 100 grams of protein per day, while the average woman takes in approximately 70 grams, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The amount of protein you need daily depends on your total caloric intake, gender and activity level.
