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.
The current RDA for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, or about 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight, according to the Institute of Medicine. Consuming the protein RDA can help maintain your lean muscle mass.

This means a 150-pound person should consume 96 to 123 grams of protein each day to build muscle mass and gain weight.
