txtroublez28 24 Posted January 24, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted January 24, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted January 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfish87 3,471 Posted January 24, 2013 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. 1 txtroublez28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
