Answer :
Rashad should aim to consume about b. 77 grams of protein each day to meet his RDA.
To calculate Rashad's Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein, we first need to convert his weight from pounds to kilograms. The formula for conversion is:
[tex]\text{Weight in kg} = \frac{\text{Weight in pounds}}{2.2}[/tex]
Rashad weighs 212 pounds:
[tex]\text{Weight in kg} = \frac{212}{2.2} \approx[/tex] 96.36 kg
The RDA for protein for a sedentary adult is typically set at 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.
Thus, we calculate his protein need as follows:
RDA for protein = 0.8× Weight in kg
Substituting in Rashad's weight:
RDA for protein = 0.8×96.36 ≈ 77.088 ≈77grams
