0.6 to 1.3 for this for more active people, it depends on how much excercise and how much muscle you already have, protein is also used to maintain muscles (duh of course) so a body builder that weighs around 220 will need as much as 286 grams a day, while an inactive person (which is about 70% of america) who is around 180 pounds only needs 50 to 80 since they are not working out.
