Story at-a-glance 1  +. Most Americans consume three to five times more protein than they need, along with excessive starchy carbs and not enough healthy fats. 2  A more ideal protein intake is likely around one-half gram of protein per pound of lean body mass, which for most is 40 to 70 grams a day. 3  Examples are given.
For example, the average sedentary adult needs roughly 0.4 grams of protein per pound of body weight. That's about 50 grams for a sedentary 125-pound adult or 60 grams for a 150-pound adult. If you're strength training -- which you should be if you want to gain muscle -- you need up to 0.8 grams of protein per pound.
