Vegetarians: How Much Protein Do You Need?* The Institute of Medicine (IOM) at the National Academy of Sciences has established the recommended intake of quality protein. UNJURY gets a quality score of 100 out of 100 using the IOM protein quality scoring system.
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 egg contains about 7 grams of protein. Milk contains 8 grams of protein per 8 ounce cup Example: To get 64 grams of protein from eggs, you would need to eat 9 eggs each day. Example: To get 64 grams of protein from tofu, you would need to eat between about 1.0 and 1.8 pounds of tofu each day (tofu varies in protein per ounce). UNJURY CAN HELP UNJURY is highly concentrated. One serving of UNJURY has 20 grams of highest quality protein. It tastes great, it’s affordable, and very easy to use.

It does not, and should not, supersede the recommendation of medical professionals who best know the individual patient needs
