How much protein do you need if you are working out daily?

For a woman, she should get about 1.2 grams of protein per pound a day, whereas a man should get about 1.3-1.4 grams in the same manner for either gender to build or tone muscles. The average person needs about 0.8 grams per pound a day (sedentary) or 1 gram per pound a day (active); the same basic amount of protein would suffice as the minimum amount of protein a man or woman needs to get muscle is 1 gram per pound.
