The average person needs 0.8~1.0g of protein per kilogram of body weight.
Protein is an important component of living organisms and plays an extremely important role in life activities. The main physiological function of protein is to participate in the composition of various cell tissues and maintain the growth, repair and renewal of cell tissues, involved in a variety of important physiological functions and oxidative functions.
The amount of protein required daily by adults varies according to the patient’s own physical condition. When the patient’s overall physical condition is good, he or she can be supplied with approximately 0.8 to 1.0 g of protein per kilogram of body weight.
The amount of protein supplementation can be increased appropriately if the patient is undergoing elective surgery, severe trauma, multiple bone infections, or extensive burns. If the patient is an obese patient with a BMI ≥ 30, the recommended protein intake is appropriately reduced.
How much protein is needed per kilogram of body weight should be based on the patient’s actual condition.
