### How Many Turkey Sausage Links to Meet Protein Goals?

**Question:**  
How many turkey sausage links (not servings) would a person have to eat a day to meet the goal of 1.8 g/kg/day if they weighed 70 kg and that was their only source of protein that day? Round up to the nearest whole number of links to ensure the goal is met at minimum. Hint: you'd be sick of eating sausages!

### Nutrition Facts

- **Serving Size:** 3 links (59g)
- **Calories:** 90

**Nutritional Information (Per Serving):**

- **Total Fat:** 5g (6% Daily Value)
  - Saturated Fat: 2g (10% Daily Value)
  - Trans Fat: 0g
- **Cholesterol:** 45mg (15% Daily Value)
- **Sodium:** 440mg (19% Daily Value)
- **Total Carbohydrates:** 1g (0% Daily Value)
  - Dietary Fiber: 0g (0% Daily Value)
  - Total Sugars: 0g
  - Includes 0g Added Sugars (0% Daily Value)
- **Protein:** 11g

**Vitamins and Minerals:**

- Vitamin D: 0mcg (0% Daily Value)
- Calcium: 0mg (0% Daily Value)
- Iron: 1mg (6% Daily Value)
- Potassium: 122mg (2% Daily Value)

*Note: Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.*

**Explanation:**

For a person weighing 70 kg, the protein intake goal would be \(1.8 \, \text{g/kg} \times 70 \, \text{kg} = 126 \, \text{g} \) of protein per day. Each serving of 3 links provides 11g of protein. To determine how many links are needed, divide the total protein requirement by the protein per link.

**Calculation:**

- \( \frac{126 \, \text{g (requirement)}}{11 \, \text{g (per serving)}} \approx 11.45 \)
- Rounding up: 12 servings × 3 links = 36 links needed per day.
