The current recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein intake in the US for adults is 0.8 g/kg/day which is too low in my opinion. If protein intake is too low, we experience loss of muscle mass and strength, poor bone health and wound healing, and a suppressed immune system.
In my opinion, protein intake should be closer to 0.6 to 0.8 g per pound of body weight per day which is roughly 1.3 to 1.8 g/ kg/day.
This is of course not medical advice, as some people may have conditions requiring them to restrict protein intake. If we cannot meet our daily protein intake with food, a protein supplement from whey protein isolate or egg protein might be a good choice. If you are following a vegan diet, pea protein is a great choice. It contains all 9 essential amino acids, is high in leucine, isoleucine, and valine, but is low in methionine.
