Good Morning All -

I am brand new to this site and was curious...how much Protein are you supossed to get per day?

60-100grams per day!! I drink premium protien and it's 30grams!

All doc are different but mine is similar to Raquel's. I am suppose to get 60-80 per day. I do a 30 gram shake in the morning as well.

Mine goes off my current weight. So I need 71-100g a day. I drink premier protein from Costco. And add cottage cheese or unflavored Greek yogurt to everything I eat.

Does anyone know if we can count our protein shake to our daily fluid intake?

I've been told yes, liquid are liquids so they count along with your waters, teas, coffees ect. At the beginning I thought Water was water and I had to drink 64oz on top of anything else which I was like - good lord, I'm float away lol -

PS I was also told that if you drink coffee you have to add a cup of water for every oz of coffee you drink but, I haven't confirmed if that's the truth--

My dr says everything counts as a liquid, except Protein drinks. He wants those as food count. But broth or Popsicles count as liquid.

Darn Darn Darn (in Herman Munster's voice) and here I was thinking my Fluid intake was great. Lol

Thank you.

My doctor said protein drinks count as water. There is no standard!
