Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein for moderately active adults is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. To calculate Isabella's RDA, we first need to convert her weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.2: 156 pounds ÷ 2.2 = 70.91 kg. Then, we can multiply her weight in kg by the RDA per kg: 70.91 kg × 0.8 g/kg = 56.7 g. Rounded to the nearest whole number, Isabella's RDA for protein is about 57 grams.
