Answer: 64grams.

Required daily allowance (RDA)of protein is that amount of protein CJ needs inorder to achieve adequate nutrition intake of protein.

The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. This amounts to 56 grams per day for an average sedentary man and 46 grams per day for an average sedentary woman.

Explanation: convert weight to kilograms,

( 175/2.2=79.5 )

Then multiply weight kg by recommended protein 8 per kilogram.

79.5×0.8= 64

=64grams.
