As dietitians, we follow the DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes). For healthy toddlers between the age of 1 and 3, an intake of 13 g of protein is considered average. To be more specific, you may calculate the protein requirement for this age group using the following formula...
1.1 g of protein per kg per day
Take care :-)
