On average, women aged 19-70 should have 46 grams of protein per day or 0.75 g per kg body weight. For example, if a woman weighs 65kg, her recommended protein intake is approximately 49g. Pregnant and lactating women often have different protein requirements, so it’s best to discuss this with a nutritionist or medical professional.
To find out your optimum protein intake to suit your goals, book an appointment with a Nutrition Coach. Find out more here, or contact your local Fernwood club.
