Experts say current recommendations are outdated and need to be reconsidered. According to them, you need to consume an average of 56 grams of protein for an average man and 45 grams for a woman, which is equivalent to one medium chicken breast.
A professor at McMaster University recommends consuming at least 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. This is about 100 grams for young men or 84 grams for women; that’s the equivalent of one serving of eggs for breakfast, one serving of tuna for lunch, and chicken breast for dinner. Adults over 60 who are prone to age-related muscle loss may need more.
