Protein

[sparkles1971 47]

How much Protein were you all advised to take? I was told between 65-75g, but I noticed many were told way more than that. Just curious.

I was told 80-95g/day and I thought that was kinda high. I believe that it should be like 0.8g/kg....but I really am not sure. I'm no nutritionist lol

My nutritionist said between 60-80 for me. I think it may be a bit based on the nutritionist but also our starting weight. Protein makes you feel fuller for longer so there must be a goal in their mind.

My husband who is at the correct weight asked my nutritionist for him and she said he needed 100g of Protein.< /p>

At first my goal was 80 grams. At 3 months, my doctor wanted me to increase it to 100. I get that or more every day.

60g but I typically get closer to 80.

I was told 58...should I have a talk with her again!?

My understanding is that it's based on starting BMI. For my surgeon, males and anyone over 50 BMI's Protein requirement is 100 grams. So, it depends on where you start.

Mine advised 80-100 grams a day. My Nut is super adamant about me getting enough Protein, "The body's architect" she says ????????
