HERE (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2003-34,GGLD:en&q=kilogram+to+pounds)

I often here 1 gram per 1 pound lean body mass but that's a figure generally aimed at average size males.

I'd think something in the .4 per range might be bettre but I'm no expert on protein intake for females.

Maybe THESE (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2003-34%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=daily+protein+intake+for+females) will be of help.
