I've heard a bunch of different numbers, so I'm curious.

:wink2:

100-120g a day.

I have not been keeping track of my protein intake although I do try to make sure to get protein daily.

My dietitian says I must get 60-70 grams of protein a day. I usually get anywhere from 60-65.

How in the world do you people get that amount of protien in? What do you eat?

Yeah, I would like to know how people do that too? It has been impossible for me to get half that much down, so you are not the only one....

I aim for 80-100 grams. Now that my weight is lower, I am happy with the lower end of the range.

My diet consists primarily of lean Protein and nonstarchy veggies. I also use protein supplements 1-2x/day.

I get at least 60gms a day. I am maintaining my weight. I eat lots of lean protein- chicken, fish, lean port loin, shrimp. I snack on nuts, cheese sticks, beef jerky.

I get AT LEAST 80 grams a day. My Protein shake (Genisoy) has 25 then mixed with milk gives it 7 more (31 total).

Morningstar Farms veggie sausage pattie has 10 grams each and I have 2 for lunch (they are very small), so that's 20 more.

Just from the shake and the veggie sausage (Breakfast and lunch) I'm at 51!

I also have a cheese stick almost every day, and a piece of fish or chicken for dinner. It can be done and is not that difficult.

Start keeping track, I think you'll be surprised.

my program expects at least 60 i shoot for 80 usually. lean meats (mostly chicken sausages and ground turkey) yoplait fiber one yogurt, fat-free cheese, arnold's double fiber bread, and the occasional protein bar or protein shake. i don't generally have any problem getting my protein.

It is 70 to 90 grams per day and you have to drink protein drinks to get that amount you can never eat that much food. I would suggest you go to GNC and get they Isopure protein powder it has 50 grams per serving which is two scoops I usually have that for breakfast mixed with milk then eat normal the rest of the day. You want protein isolates not just whey protein we dont want to bulk up so I wouldnt suggest any of the other protein shakes.

There's Protein in lots of things that you may not realize.

Use an online food diary such as thedailyplate and you'll see that. :wink2:

I get anywhere from 80 to 100 grams a day and DO NOT drink Protein drinks as a rule. Only occasionally do I have one. My doctor recommends a minimum of 60grams.

Wow how do you all get so much protein in? I am having the hardest time even getting close to 60g.

Do you journal your food? There's protein in many things that you don't realize. The oatmeal I eat has 7grams per serving, One mushroom has almost 1 gram, 1/2 cup of broccoli has 1.5 grams, 1 wasa crisp & light cracker has almost 1 gram. These are all things that I wouldn't think of having protein, and while they're not significant amounts ALONE.. when you add up all these during one day, you will get there along with the 3oz of protein 3x a day.

A lot of people that have had surgery use the Special K Protein packs for thier Water. I think it has 10g.

I'm going to start as soon as I can FIND IT! lol But you can google it and it will show you which stores carry it or you can order online.
