Pump It Up. Experts advise consuming between 0.5 grams and 1.0 grams of protein per pound of your body weight. That's 70 grams to 140 grams a day for a 140-pound woman. Skew on the high end if you're very active, and on the low end if you're trying to lose weight.
Each gram of protein has four calories, so for a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that equals 75 to 100 grams of protein per day. A person who eats 1,500 calories per day would need about 55 to 75 grams per day. That's quite a spread, but you can narrow it down by basing your protein needs on your body weight. The average adult needs about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. One kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, so a person who weighs 165 pounds (75kg) would need about 60 grams of protein per day. A few weight loss diets suggest upping your intake of protein, but that may not really be necessary.
