Can someone please tell me what the average Protein g's a day is??? Or what Is recommended?? I'm 10 days post op and am only taking in about 500-700 cal a day but trying to make it mainly protein at this stage and can not stomach another protein shake!!

60 to 80 grams of Protein. 1000 calories. I get mine from 2 shakes with protein milk by bordons. Milk has 10 grams powder has 21.

I think it depends on your height, activity level, etc. My doctor recommended 70g of Protein a day. But now that I am close to goal and exercising a lot, my doctor has me upping my calories and upping my protein. I get at least 80g a day now.

just depends on variances of all sorts (height/weight/your doctors instructions)

mine said to aim 70+ per day.....congrats on your surgery. this is going to be a great year for you

I've heard to use the following calc.

Multiply your weight by between .33 to .45

For a 200 lb person 200 x .33=66 grams per day.

My Dr suggest at least 70 grams per day.If you're looking for High Protein in a low volume, GNC sells a "New whey liquid Protein" Its 42g Protein, 180 calories. Comes very concentrated. Doesn't taste good to me, but lots of protein in a hurry.
