6 PROTEIN: Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) Grams / kg body weight Age Group 7-12 months 1-3 years 4-8 years 9-13 years years >18 years Girls/Women Boys/Men

7 PROTEIN: Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) > 18 years 0.66 Grams / kg body weight Weight (lbs) EAR 30 g 45 g 60 g 75 g

8 Distribution of Requirement Protein Requirement 25 grams/day 54 grams/day

9 Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) Population Approach: Add 2 Standard deviations to EAR Protein Requirement 25 grams/day 54 grams/day

20 JAMA, June 25, 2008 Vol 299, No. 24 pp

21 JAMA, June 25, 2008 Vol 299, No. 24 pp The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) is an estimate of the minimum daily average dietary intake level that meets the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97 to 98 percent) healthy individuals.

22 JAMA, June 25, 2008 Vol 299, No. 24 pp The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) is an estimate of the minimum daily average dietary intake level that meets the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97 to 98 percent) healthy individuals. the minimum protein intake necessary to avoid a progressive loss of lean body mass as reflected by nitrogen balance.

23 Acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR) Percentages of daily calories from carbohydrate, fat and protein sufficient to provide adequate total energy intake and nutrients while reducing the risk of chronic disease % Protein 45-65% Carbohydrate 20-35% Fat IOM Dietary Reference Intakes

24 Acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR) Percentages of daily calories from carbohydrate, fat and protein sufficient to provide adequate total energy intake and nutrients while reducing the risk of chronic disease % Protein 10% of a typical caloric intake translates to 0.95 g/kg/d and 35% of energy intake translates to 3.3 g/kg/d. IOM Dietary Reference Intakes

25 Athletes and active individuals may benefit from protein intakes of 1.2 to 1.7 g/kg/d, an amount higher than the recommended daily allowance of 0.8 g/kg/d.

26 Health (%) OPTIMAL intake is typically a wide range Bounded by marginal deficiency and toxicity

29 How Many Amino Acids? Insulin: ~50 amino acids Lipoprotein lipase (LPL): ~450 amino acids Hemoglobin: ~600 amino acids Thyroglobulin: ~2,700 amino acids Titin: largest known protein ~34,350 amino acids

30 Food Proteins: Quality, Use, and Need Limiting Amino Acid Protein Quality The essential amino acid that is present in dietary protein in the lowest amount proportional to its requirement

31 Just as each letter that is part of a word must be present when forming that word, each amino acid that is part of a protein must be present when building that protein.

42 the source of protein (90 percent animal, 90 percent vegetable, or mixed) did not significantly affect the median nitrogen requirement, slope, or intercept. It should be noted that almost all of the studies included as 90 percent vegetable were based on complementary proteins.

43 Food Proteins: Quality, Use, and Need Concern about the quality of individual food proteins is of only theoretical interest in settings where food is abundant. Most people in the US and Canada eat a variety of nutritious foods to meet their energy needs not just say, cookies, potato chips or alcoholic beverages. They would find it next to impossible not to meet their protein requirements, even if they were to eat no meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese or soy products.
