Depends on...: This depends on your weight and activity level.The recommended daily intake of protein is 0.36 grams per pound each day,so if you weigh 140 pounds 50 grams is adequate, but if weigh more then ingest more. Also have more if more active. Can eat high protein foods like eggs or supplement with good protein powders like whey from grass-fed cows or hemp or pea protein. See https://tinyurl.com/ya7kgxmw
