Just for the average person- someone who isn't working out, or strength training, how much protein should they eat?

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein for an adult is .8 g/kg body weight. So to figure your protein RDA:
1. Find your body weight.
2. Convert pounds to kilograms ( pounds divided by 2.2 = kilograms)
3. Multiply answer to #2 by .8g/kg to get your RDA for protein.

approx. 1 gram of protein for every pound of weight

I would say .5-1 grams per pound and if you workout and want to add msucle 1-1.5 grams per pound you are
