Question

Henry is a healthy 21-year-old college student who weighs 180 pounds. Calculate his protein needs.

Answer 1

Henry needs 2900 calories per day. Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Henry weighs 180 pounds, which is 180/2.2 = 81.818 kg
At the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or with little exercise, the daily recommended portion of protein would be 0.8 grams for every 1 kg of the body weight.
Therefore,
amount of protein = 0.8*81.818 = 65.4545 grams

Based on the above calculations, amount of daily needed protein is 65.4545 grams. This amount would increase if Henry practiced sports heavily.
