A woman eats 65 g of protein per day and weighs 156 lbs. How much protein is she getting per kg of body weight?

Answer :

The woman is consuming approximately 0.92 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

To calculate the amount of protein per kg of body weight, we first need to convert her weight from lbs to kg. We use the conversion factor, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs.

Convert weight from lbs to kg:

  • 156 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg = 70.91 kg (approximately)

Calculate the protein intake per kg of body weight:

  • 65 g of protein / 70.91 kg = 0.92 g/kg

Therefore, she is getting approximately 0.92 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
