I am a 5'2 34 year old female and I was wondering just how much protein should I be taking in daily????? Whether it be food or shakes. :smile2:

my nutritionist told me 65-99 but i am 5'8 female at 245. it probly depends on your height and weight

My surgeon recommends at least 50 grams per day for women over 25. I'm still on the liquid phase and am averaging about 70 grams a day with just Carnation Instant Breakfast and Adkins shakes.

I was told 60 grams of protien a day.

The ideal amount of Protein relates to what your ideal lean body mass should be based on your height and sex.

I am 5'4/F and my nutritionist set my daily protein goal to 66.

I'm 5'4", 33yo, female, and at my pre-op diet consult I was 245 pounds and my nut said at least 55-65 grams/day.

If you know your body fat percentage then you can figure it out. It is 1 gram of Protein for each kilogram (2.2 pounds) of lean body mass. Or you can find a lean body mass calculator online.

I think the more protein, the better. My nutritionist/surgeon said to try to get 70g a day, I'm usually getting 100g+

My doc's office recommended 60 grams per day. I actually have better weight loss if I get around 80 per day. 2 shakes a day give me approx. 50 grams, so it's pretty easy to get.

My nutritionist says 60-80 grams daily.

I'm 5'8", and I was told it needed to be over 80.
