A member asked:
Do i eat a protein according to my weight in pounds? for example i am 168 pounds 5 foot 8 and a half so would i have to eat 168 grams of protein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The average adult needs to eat 0.75- 0.80 grams of protein per kilogram of weight. For you who are 168lbs (76kg), you would need about 65g of protein daily.
