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 recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for all adults is 0.37 grams of protein per pound of body weight, or about 15 percent of your daily calories. But you probably need more if you exercise, if youâre dieting and as you age.o if your ideal weight is 150 pounds: 150 lb. x 0.37 grams protein = 56 grams of protein per day. But for active people and older adults, calculate 0.45â0.54 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
