According to the USDA, a typical person should have about 60 grams of protein a day. If you are an athlete, active, or have special needs, you certainly need more (I have heard a recommendation of 1 gram per pound of body weight).
Most Americans get too much protein (when was the last time you heard of someone with a protein deficiency?). So unless you have special needs I wouldn't worry about it.
