How Much Protein?

[scorrea 95]

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!

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.

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.

i guess whomever answers will tell you what their dr suggests..........mine says 70+ is ideal so that

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?

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,722]

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.
