Protien Requirement And What To Eat At 3 Weeks Out

[suzqlvq 15]

When it is you can start cutting down all the protien shakes? I am only 3 weeks out and I know I still need a lot of protien but just wondered if you have to have 80 grams or more of protien forever? Also any advice on what to eat at 3 weeks out? My Doctor gave me the go ahead to start eating regular foods now but to start slowing with softer foods. Any suggestions?

i couldn't successfully drink Protein Shakes til week 2. "if" i remember correctly, i had them for a couple of weeks.

any time in the future, its ok to drink a shake to get some protein in - couldn't hurt

unfortunately, i never get in 80 g of protein in now - more like 50-60

you won't have to have 80g of protein daily, but............its great to have that much.

i've heard tell that if you have more than 40 g of protein at a time, the extra protein doesn't count, too much protein??? - sleevers, did i say that correctly??? am i mistaken?

protein will always be the first thing you should intake w/your meals, and get as much in daily as possible.

nut told me to have so much protein, i asked her if "normal" people eat that way too, she said, yes they "should"

for soft foods i ate eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese - laughing cow cheese, baby bel cheese, for example

didn't hear of any problems you were having, so sounds like things are going well for - WooHoo

continued good luck

it is good to have a Protein Shake to get a good amount of Protein. I have one a day for Breakfast. You need a minimum of 60 grams of protein a day. Eat your protein first, right now I am not eating any veggies just protein. I am still on soft: eggs, cottage cheese, canned meats, tuna, soft fish, crock pot chicken, yogurt. These foods are also high in protein.
