How Much Is Enough?
You can figure out how much protein you need if you know how much you weigh. Each day, kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound (0.5 kilograms) they weigh. That's a gram for every 2 pounds (1 kilogram) you weigh. Your protein needs will grow as you get bigger, but then they will level off when you reach adult size. Adults, for instance, need 60 grams per day.

To figure out your protein needs, multiply your weight in pounds times 0.5 or you can just take your weight and divide by 2. For instance, a 56-pound (or 25-kilogram) kid should have about 28 grams of protein every day. If you only know your weight in kilograms, you need about 1 gram of protein each day for every kilogram you weigh.

You can look at a food label to find out how many protein grams are in a serving. But if you're eating a balanced diet, you don't need to keep track of it. It's pretty easy to get enough protein. Here's an example of how a kid might get about 30 grams of protein in a day:

1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) peanut butter (4 grams protein)
1 cup (240 milliliters) low-fat milk (8 grams protein)
1 ounce (30 grams) or 2 domino-size pieces of cheddar cheese (7 grams protein)
1.5 ounces (90 grams) chicken breast (10.5 grams protein)

Depends..are ur GRANS still alive?

i believe its how ever much u weigh(if u need more muscle) or maybe just 75 grams for normal intake

all depends on your age and your level of activity

your profile says your 15

so 50 g per day is your min, and 75g your recommended

at least according to the chart in my Vegetarian health book.

compare that with other sources.

I think that the WHO says 25g a day. Most Western people have far too much protein, and I suspect that that is not the reason your hair is falling out. Look at an over all improvement of your diet.

Healthy hair relies not on the amount of protein, per se, but on certain amino acids (which proteins are made up of) and minerals. Different proteins have higher levels of certain amino acids than other proteins have.

Find out which amino acids and minerals are specific to hair growth (just do a search on www.clusty.com - or google, if you can put up with its unclustered results), then include more of the foods in your diet that contain good levels of those essential nutrients.

It probably also relies on a balanced diet, with "good" fats, complex carbohydrates and a variety of vitamins, so watch those too.

Protein doesn't beget protein. Amino acids make protein.
