How To Find Your Necessary Amount Of Protien

"The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of Protein for every kilogram of body weight per day to keep from slowly breaking down their own tissues [39]. That's about 8 grams of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight."http://www.dsfacts.com/protein.html

Very interesting, this put me at a need for 120 grams

I was checking out a fellow members post about weight stall, http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html, incredibly informative and found this protien information.

They also talk about carbs, http://www.dsfacts.com/carbohydrates.html, if your curious :)

Keep in mind they're talking about ideal weight. The numbers get slightly skewed if you're obese. 120 seems like a lot for you.

That’s really good to know, I totally misunderstood! Thank you for finding and sharing that site, it was so educational and made me feel so much better understanding why stalls happen!!
