I am a 53 yr old woman and I aim for 2 grams per kg of ideal body weight per day. That’s a lot- 120 gm per day and I have to pay a lot of attention to what I eat to make sure I get enough protein in the context of abundant micronutrients and the right kind of fats, all while keeping calories under wraps.

My logic is that I don’t have tons of testosterone and I don’t want to compromise my already limited ability to build muscle.

If context helps, I train year round with a coach, race TTs, and ride road and mountain bikes for fun.
