ABSTRACT

Protein requirements mean the numerical expression of the amount of proteins that individuals need to maintain health and an optimal nutritional state. Current protein requirements meet the average protein requirements plus twice standard deviation for a determined population. Nitrogen balance method is the most widespread tool used to establish the protein requirements. It was employed to obtain the actual recommendations. In Mexico, the international protein requirements must be multiplied by a 1.8 conversion factor due the low biologic value of the proteins consumed by the general population. New investigational methods suggest nitrogen balance method underestimates protein requirements, therefore 1985 recommendations should be reevaluated.
