Daily protein intake?

Question

I'm 5 feet 6 inches, male and weigh about 135 pounds. What would a recommended daily intake of protein be in grams?

Answer 1

I have heard you need one gram for every 2 lbs. of body weight.

Answer 2

135 grams

Answer 3

If you are not in training or not trying to gain weight, you should take half of your body weight in grams per day. However, if you currently doing the aforementioned, 1 gram per pound that you weigh is correct.

Two grams per pound is not a good idea. Unless you are a body builder taking steroids.

FYI,

Your body can not metabolize more than 25 grams per serving, so take your protein in stages.
