Healthy Lifestyle: How Much Protein Do You Need?* The framework of every cell in your body is made with protein. Proteins have important roles inside the cell and in communications between cells as well. Sufficient protein is also essential for a healthy immune system.
Your body breaks down protein, and rebuilds -- constantly. And you lose about 60 to 90 grams of protein each day1. So you need to replace protein constantly. How much each day? The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for healthy adults is: 0.37 grams of quality protein per pound of body weight per day. For example:
An ounce of meat (the weight after the shrinkage of cooking) provides about 7 grams of protein. An egg contains about 7 grams of protein. Milk contains 8 grams of protein per 8 ounce cup Example: To get 70 grams of protein from meat, you would need to eat 10 ounces of cooked meat each day. UNJURY CAN HELP UNJURY is highly concentrated.
