An adult does not need to eat a lot of protein.
The average adult needs 0.6 - 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of body weight. Infants may need as much as 2.0 grams per kilogram, adolescents need up to 1.2 grams per kilogram and pregnant women need an additional 10 grams per day.
Average adult male
48 – 63 grams per day
Average adult female
37 – 50 grams per day
Adolescent example (120 lbs)
52 – 65 grams per day
Infant example (15 lbs)
11 – 13 grams per day
Pregnant women example
47-60 grams per day

you need to consume about 0.8 grams per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of ideal bodyweight (the weight you would like to be). A general guideline for the more active person who is looking for gains in strength should be to consume 1.2 to 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal bodyweight.
If you are a sedentary male weighting 140lbs you should be consuming 50.4 grams of protein per day.
Calculation= (140lbs/2.2) * 0.8 = 50.4 grams
If you are an active male weighing 140lbs you should be consuming 76.36 to 89.1 grams of protein per day.
Calculation= (140lbs/2.2) * 1.2 = 76.36 grams
Calculation= (140lbs/2.2) * 1.4 = 89.10 grams
