The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein for healthy children and adults is a minimum of 0.8 g protein/kg of body weight or 0.36 g protein/lb of body weight. Athletes require approximately 1.2 - 2.0 g protein/kg of body weight. Calculate the RDA of protein (in mg of protein) needed per day for: - Yourself - Healthy 2-year-old child who weighs 27 pounds (12 kg) - Healthy adult who weighs 180 pounds (82 kg) - Athlete who weighs 110 pounds (50 kg)
