Answer:

69-86 g

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends, the World Health Organization recommends an intake between 0.8-1 g per Kg of body weight, so in that order for 190 pounds (86,3 Kg) the intake must be 69-86 g. But it can change depending on the individual activity, if that adult man does weightlifting the intake could be even the double or if that same person practice cycling the intake should be between 1.3-1.5g per Kg of body weight.
