If it helps, according to Canada’s Food Guide, you should eat 2-3 servings of meat or meat alternatives every day.

Most research has found that the average person needs about 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight. To figure out your daily needs, follow this simple formula:
Divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 – this is your weight in kilograms.
Example: if you weigh 150 pounds,
150 / 2.2 = 68.2
Multiply this number by 0.8 – this is the number of grams of protein you need each day.
Example: 68.2 * 0.8g = 54.6;
You would need about 55 grams of protein per day.

If you can, it’s really a good idea to get a consultation with a personal trainer, and have them give you a menu plan for your activity level as well.
Depending what activities you do, it’ll vary.
Nutritionists may do the same, but I’ve never dealt with one so I can’t say for sure. But nearly every gym has personal trainers, easy to find =o)
