Each person is different. Take your weight and divide it by 2.2 to get your body weight in kg. Then take your weight in kilograms and multiply it .8. The number you get is the minimum amount of grams of protein you should have a day.

It is different per person. We all have different needs. Here is an equation that you can use to figure out your needs!

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. Let's say you're 200 lbs...

200 lbs / 2.2 lbs (per kg) = 90.9 kg

So how much protein should you be eating?

90.9 kg x 0.8 g/kg = 72.7 g of protein

It's not possible to say how many grams of protein a person should have a day, it all depends on what you are eating.

they say that 10-20% of the energy consumed on a daily basis should come from proteins.

You have to keep in mind that your body can only process around 30 grams of protein every hour, the rest is unnecessary calories.

Depends on how much you weigh. See Dr. Colbert's site about this. Generally, 60-85 grams though. Check on a box of cereal or something. It should tell you.
