How Much Protein?

Can I just get an estimate of how much Protein everyone is getting during a day? I know I am low most days, but I need to know how much I should be getting.

Thanks!

  • 60 grams for women and I do the Protein shots first thing in the AM 43 grams . IF you eat and always eat your protein first you should get enough and feel fuller.

  • There is a Almond milk with Protein available. I get the unsweetened vanilla. 30 calories and 5 grams of protein a cup. When I'm home in the morning I put 2 cups In a blender, a banana, 1/2 cup

  • I mix my AM coffee with a pure protein shake and by the end of the day I average about 80g of protein. I was told to get at least 60g per day.

I WAS SHOOTING FOR 60-80 GRAMS BUT MY PA UP TO 100 TO COVER MY BIKE RIDING BEST OF LUCK

My nutritionist says about 60 grams per day for females. She said much more than that isn't really beneficial. I have been trying to stay right around that, or a little more. I'm starting my second and last week of my pre-op diet tomorrow.

im not sure how much im getting but i dont think i could eat more than i am right now. i have pure protein for Breakfast.. then mixed with carbs for lunch and tea. i had some bloods done a few days ago and will see the dr next week to talk about my Iron levels, etc etc. im sure you will get a good idea from the forum... there are a lot here who do measure the amount they eat.

I was told 60 a day also, but I usually get more than that. I journal to keep track.

I was told body weight x 0.3= grams of protein needed per day.

is what i strive for. :)

I am so way under! Can anyone chime in if they use protein shots and what kind they might use?

What type of protein shot do you use?

i prefer to drink ff milk and my protein shake for 35 grams..........i personally do not like the (shots) but i have them in the fridge.

I was told at least 60 grams as well, and was told not to have more than 30g at a time because the body can't process more than 30 at once.

My daily Protein goal range was calculated by the dietitian...for me it is 65-82 grams per day.

Reaching it is not difficult if you have a nutritionally sound Protein shake every day...like NC Girl. When I mix my Protein powder with 1% milk, my shake will have 37 g of protein...more than enough to compensate for any deficits during the day!

I can't stand the shots. I make. Protein drink with pb2 and almond milk every morning.

There is a Almond milk with Protein available. I get the unsweetened vanilla. 30 calories and 5 grams of protein a cup.

When I'm home in the morning I put 2 cups

In a blender, a banana, 1/2 cup blueberry and a a 1/2 cup Greek yogurt hand Full of ice and that's a great smoothie.

Got about 40 grams of protein and all the Vitamin benefits of the fruits.

My nutritionist says about 70 grms of protein daily is enough for the health. He said much more than that isn't really valuable. I have been trying to remain right around that, or a little more.
