Health claim

“150 g of protein is a rough average for most people.”

Claim checked — mixed / earlyMedium risknutrition

Evidence Summary

Some evidence supports this, but findings are inconsistent or limited in scope.

Typical protein recommendations range from 0.8 g/kg to 1.6 g/kg body weight, so 150 g may be appropriate for some individuals (e.g., larger or highly active adults) but is higher than average for the general population.
