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:
- 45 grams of quality protein per day for a 125 pound person
- 55 grams of quality protein per day for a 150 pound person
- 64 grams of quality protein per day for a 175 pound person
- 73 grams of quality protein per day for a 200 pound person
- 91 grams of quality protein per day for a 250 pound person
HOW TO GET THAT MUCH PROTEIN?
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).
