Adults in the U.S. are encouraged to get 10% to 35% of their day's calories from protein foods. That's about 46 grams of protein for women, and 56 grams of protein for men. It's not hard to get this amount if you eat two to three servings of protein-rich foods a day, according to the CDC. 1  A small 3-ounce piece of meat has about 21 grams of protein. A typical 8-ounce piece of meat could have over 50 grams of protein.  One 8-ounce container of yogurt has about 11 grams of protein.
The official daily intake recommendation for an adult woman is 1 gram per kilogram (about 0.4 grams per pound of body weight). If youâre exercising and very active, though, you need more: most fitness gurus usually recommend 1.7-2.2 grams of protein per kg (0.8-1.0 grams per pound). Example: if you weigh 59 kg (130 pounds) you need 100 grams to 130 grams of protein a day.
