Protein requirements

[nursmate2 40]

My NUT wants me to have 80 grams of Protein including 2 shakes and 3 small meals a day. I can barely get in 1 shake and a couple of meals. I am 6 weeks out and back to regular foods. how much protein does everyone else get?

I'm a little over a month out and I get 90 grams, 60 from my two shakes and the rest from Protein rich foods, lean meats, cheese, eggs ect...

I was getting 50-60g by the 5th day. Consistent 60+g by 2 months and probably 80-100g by 6 months. 30-40g from a Protein smoothie and the rest from food.< /p>

I'm supposed to be at 95g and I'm having to do shakes and Protein Bars to fill in the missing gaps in my diet..it's the hardest part for me.

I'm having a horrible time with my protein! I'm 6 weeks out and on full food. whey Protein makes me sick, so I have not had a shake in quite a while. I'm running about 40-50g Protein per day. My NUT wanted me at 85g/day. I read somewhere yesterday that taking in too little protein could result in a stall/slow-down, and I'm worried about that. Has anyone heard of that?

Last night I sat and worked out a schedule for meals/snacks, but I'm not sure I'll get all my Water in with the 30/30 rule and eating so often. This is no longer as easy as I have been making it!..... or am I making the eating plan too complicate?

I am almost 6 weeks post op am suppose to get 60grams in a day, I usually get between 70-80. My doc wants me doing two shakes and one meal a day. Most days I eat my meal at dinnertime with my family.

With this program I have no problem getting in my Protein and liquids in a day.

I am almost 6 weeks out. My NUT said 60-80 and I usually get less than 70 per day. I usually have half of a shake to one shake per day (depends on the day) and then just eat as much Protein as I possibly can for the rest of the day. Usually it works out to 60 or close.

I'm twelve days out. Having a hard time forcing myself to eat or drink. What a new experience. Lol. Getting in 45 g of Protein with effort. Praying my hair won't fall out.
