The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight or 0.36 grams per pound. The RDA indicates how much of a nutrient you need for essential health. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, that is only 50 grams of protein or about 2 ounces. People who are very athletic or older may want a little more. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have shifted away from dictating percentages of macronutrients to focusing on a healthy eating plan that is high in fiber with nutrient-dense foods.

While most people recognize that obesity has genetic links, they may not consider the impact of malnutrition. According to a recent study from Tulane University, a diet lacking protein in one generation may be responsible for health risks in offspring including low birth weight and smaller kidneys that may linger for several generations.
