The lowest 1/3 of participants consumed an average of 0.9 grams per day. (and among this lowest third, 108 of them consumed zero grams of MSG per day)
The middle 1/3 of participants consumed an average of 2.6 grams per day.
The highest 1/3 of participants consumed an average of 5.6 grams per day.

MSG first arrived in the USA in 1926, and was used in canned soups and by restaurants.
In 1947 Accent hit the retail store shelves (I.E., everything from supermarkets to mom & pop stores) across the USA.

OK, so if the median Chinese intake of MSG is 3.1 grams per day, how can we equate this to deep fried chicken?
I'm going to assume that a recipe based upon 200 grams of flour will coat (on average) 14 pieces of chicken.
I will further presume that the average person eats 2.5 pieces of chicken at a sitting.
14/2.5 x 3.1 grams = 17.36 grams
So if you add 17.36 grams of MSG to a coating recipe based upon 200 grams of flour, and each guest eats an average of 2.5 pieces, each person will on average consume 3.1 grams of MSG.
The 'EFSA' (European Food Safety Authority) has established that the safe daily long term intake of MSG is 30 mg. per Kg. of body weight. If the average woman weighs about 57 Kg. then 57 x 30/1000 = 1.71 grams of MSG daily/acceptable long term. And if the average man weighs 82 Kg., then 82 x 30/1000 = 2.46 grams of MSG daily/acceptable long term.
The very same 'EFSA' has determined that 3,200 mg per day (or 3.2 grams) is the 'NOAEL' (No Observable Adverse Effect Level).

Based upon this, I will continue my typical practice of adding 15 grams of MSG to my 200 grams of flour based recipes. It's not like we eat such meals daily. Probably more like once to twice a month.

There is a Chef on YouTube who adds ~50 grams of MSG to his similarly scaled deep fried chicken coating recipe. He justifies it on taste, and on the fact that such meals are not daily fare.
Edit: From memory, he adds 2 tablespoons of MSG to every cup of flour...

According to the FDA, the average person eats 13 grams of naturally-occurring glutamates in food on a daily basis.

I had posted that video of the chef adding the MSG I do not recall what thread its in at this moment. One just needs to read how much MSG is in Potato Chips, or Campbell Soup or ANY POWDERED soup WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY about how much MSG is being placed into the Fried Chicken. I have always stated they Have had a amount to use per application on the Tins since the beginning. CHS used 2 handfuls for a Lug. 1/4 cup of MSG I think it worked out Per 5lbs ?  |

That CHS discovered the addition of 2 handfuls of MSG to make a substantial improvement to his chicken is completely irrelevant. Certainly trials carried out afterwards would have shifted the preferred MSG quantity to be added either downward or upward from whatever 2 handfuls means, whereby to optimize it's flavor benefit. It is almost laughable to presume that by some sort of miracle 2 handfuls per Lug proved to be precisely the most beneficial amount.
