Document Summary

Transporting substances into and out of cells. Rda (healthy adult) = 0. 8g/kg of body weight (1 kg = 2. 2 lbs) Amdr for protein: 10-35% of your diet. % of calories from protein = (grams of protein x 4kcal/g)/total kcals. Your weight in lbs / 2. 2 = weight in kg. Weight in kg * 0. 8g = protein need in grams. Your daily percent of calories from protein. Grams of protein * 4 kcal / gram = calories from protein. Your protein calories / total calories * 100 = % protein intake (compare with amdr for protein) Infants / tots: 1. 1-1. 52g / kg / day. Injury / illness: depends, but generally increased intake. New cells require more protein in order to be made and keep the healing process going quickly and efficiently. Most active people meet their protein needs with 0. 8g / kg / day. Professional athletes may need to increase to 1. 2 to 1. 7 g / kg / day.
