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.
