Quick survey - how much Protein should you get in daily? And on average how much protein do you manage per day?

And if you are food logging - at how much protein per day do you find you lose weight fastest?

Please reply pleeeaase!

64 grams.....

My dietician wants me to get 85-95. I struggle with that.

My surgeon recommends 100g of Protein per day and I've been hitting that about 95% of the time for almost two years. Protein is crucially important for a lot of very good reasons - faster wound healing, helps protect you from bacterial and viral infections, improves retention of lean muscle, reduces hair loss, and protein is a key source of energy (especially when you're on a low carb diet). Your body has over 100 trillion cells and every single one of them contains protein. Remove all of the Water from your body and 75% of the stuff that's left is protein. On average, 20% of your total body weight is protein.

Many believe that getting sufficient protein helps in weight loss. But I've never read (or heard of) any scientific cause and effect relationship being established for specific protein intake levels being correlated with specific increases or decreases in weight loss. As we see on the forum all of the time, even doctors are all over the place in their recommendations for daily protein.

Bottom line - do your best to get ALL of your doctor's recommended protein in every day and you're gonna love the new you!!

I usually hit between 60-80. I need to check with my dietitian and surgeon at my 6 month.

60-80 grams for women and 80-100 for men
