  3. 1.5g per kg per day (1.5g/kg)
  4. Subtract age from 222 and divide by 85%
Explanation
Answer - A - The Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein can be figured out by taking an average client’s body weight (in kg) and multiplying the body weight by 0.8. This results in the amount of grams (g) of protein that is needed based on that individual’s weight.
