Protein requirements of Chinese male adults were determined by nitrogen balance methods. Their average age, body weight, and height were 37.9 (24–44) yr. 64.3 (51.5–74.0) kg and 173 (157–180) cm respectively in the first group, and 30.2 (24–41) yr, 67.7 (56.6–70.0) kg and 171...
Protein requirements of adults from an evolutionary perspectiveIt is argued that the observed minimum needs for protein and individual amino acids by adult humans and animals may merely reflect the diet that their predecessors consumed in the course of their evolution. The ability to adapt to diets...
It is important for teenagers to consume a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. If a teenager is struggling to meet their protein requirements, they can incorporate protein-rich foods such as egg...
Protein requirements by age: The National Academy of Medicine recommends that adults get about 0.8 grams of protein a day for every kilogram they weigh. That's about 7 grams for every 20 pounds. It suggests babies and children get a bit more, ranging from 1.2 grams per kilogram for infants...
In 1853 and again in 1865, Playfair reported the protein intakes of different classes of the population of Britain and concluded that the requirements of adults ranged from 57 g protein per day in the case of a subsistence diet to 184 g for laborers doing heavy work. Later in the same ...
establish new recommendations for the protein required by healthy adults.Data were gathered from published nitrogen balance studies that had as their primary objective either the estimation of basal or maintenance requirements or the testing of the adequacy of specific nitrogen intakes in healthy adults....
In adults, the recommendation is at least 1.2 g protein/kg bodyweight [2,5,6]. As mentioned before, protein requirement also depends on the amount of FFM. The amount of muscle mass is the main determinant of protein requirements. By using bodyweight for the estimation of protein ...
A key component of the diet for a space mission is protein. This first part of this paper reviews the reasons for emphasizing protein nutrition and then discusses what the requirements are likely to be. The second part discusses potential advantages of modifying these requirements and describes pot...
(NIA)-supported programs to enable open-science practices and accelerate translational learning. The data, analyses and tools are shared early in the research cycle without a publication embargo on secondary use. Data are available for general research use according to the following requirements for ...
This is the basis of the most recent dietary reference intake of protein and most all other nutrients for the 0 – 6-mo-old infant (1). Unfortunately, no such standard exists for the LBW infant. Rather, for the past 25 years, the protein and other nutrient requirements for these infants...
