If you’re wondering how many grams of protein a woman should consume per day, there’s no cut and dry answer. It depends on your weight, your activity level, and whether or not you’re pregnant.
There’s an easy way to calculate the number of protein grams that’s right for you. Just take your weight in pounds and divide it by 2.2 to figure out your weight in kilograms. Then multiply that number by 0.8 (not very active) through 1.8 (extremely active), depending on how much exercise you get.
Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day. If you don’t see your weight, just use the formula above to calculate your daily protein.
