The second column in the following table shows the amino acid requirements of adults as recommended by the World Health Organization [11] calculated for a 62 kg (137 lb) adult. Recommended Daily Intake is based on 2,000 kilocalories (8,400 kJ) per day, [ 12 ] which could be appropriate for a 70 kg (150 lb) adult.

The 2005 Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA), aimed at the general healthy adult population, provide for an intake of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. [43]
