My NUT's recommended protein intake for all women is 70 grams per day, which I get in more often than not. However, I was thinking about my height which is a lot taller than average (5'10"). Im wondering if because I have a larger body type than most females, if I should be getting in more protein? Or do the two have absolutely nothing to do with one another?

Nothing to do with one another. I'm 6'4" and my recommendation was also 60-70 grams.

No ma'am. 70 is the going average. If you get a couple more it won't hurt. But being 5'9, I was told the same as you. Try to average 70 grams a day.

Protein intake is supposed to be a percentage of your weight. 70 is an average.

Our protein needs depend on our age, size, and activity level. The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate our minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. According to this method, a person weighing 150 lbs. should eat 55 grams of protein per day, a 200-pound person should get 74 grams, and a 250-pound person should eat 92 grams.
