What is the recommended daily dose of protein? 64g?

My Nut told us there is a ratio of how much protein to eat based on body weight. .4x your weight gives you the approx amount of what you should be eating every day.

My doc and nutritionist say a minimum of 60-70 g protein daily!

I have had 3 different dietitians. Same doctor, though. My second one, Katie, told me around 90-100 grams. My present one, Melissa, said around 60-70. Katie had different thoughts on everything, like there are no, no-nos on any foods, just use judgement. Melissa, says there are a lot of no-nos. I never know but I follow my own rules. I had a wonderful pot roast for dinner. Did not go over board.

Protein is the main item to fill you up. I have about 40-50 grams in my protein shake and that keeps me good for around 3-5 hours.

Lap band and plication patient here... my surgeon's nutritionist says two ounces of protein per meal should be MY minimum. I was worrying about the grams and stressing... much easier now to just weigh it out each meal :-)

60-70g of protein daily should be just fine but do not intake more thank 20-30g at one time. Try to get most of your protein from healthy foods and 1 protein shake/bar a day.

I've always used the formula .36 times your weight in pounds to find protein recommendation.

Why no more then 20-30g at one time?

I am supposed to have 110 grams a day. This was based on my weight. My dietician told me to come back in six months after surgery to see if we needed to adjust the amount.

Why no more then 20-30g at one time?

Our body only retains so much Protein at one time which is why most Proteins only have between 14-30 grams of protein per serving.

So drinking a Protein shake with 42g of protein is overkill? Maybe drink half and then half at another time?

It's not THAT much of an overkill. 12g over isn't that big of a deal.
