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.
You do not need a lot of protein, itâs a myth that weâve been sold as a consumerist society, by the meat industry. One only needs about 46 grams of protein a day, for women itâs even less. To get a general idea of how much protein per day you need take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 0.36.
