Recommendations for daily protein intake - overview by the International Protein Board iPB

The International Protein Board iPB has created a clear chart that shows recommendations for protein requirements, broken down by different target groups. The iPB emphasises that protein requirements are dietary minimums and were not concepted to serve as target for diet planning. Thus, they are dietary requirement or reference intake levels, not necessarily recommendations for food and dietary planning.
