Answer #3

I've heard of the 1 gram per pound of body weight, but I've also heard that you should get a gram and a half per kilogram of body weight. To convert pounds to kgs divide your weight in pounds by 2.2. A gram per pound may be too much, not to mention that I weigh 180 pounds and that is an inordinate amount of protein to get.
