lisacaron 5,075 Posted June 18, 2015 You should be getting closer to 70-90 grams a day. Speak to your nutritionist to get an accurate number for your weight, height and age. You can also look it up online but your Protein intake is too low. http://www.proteinsmart.kashi.com/?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=how%20much%20protein%20intake%20daily&utm_content=protein+calculator&utm_campaign=Consideration-Protein-Calculator&mkwid=kT5cxbKf&gclid=CM_fiMbbmcYCFZGLaQodEI8AGw#/calculator Protein is not stored in the body so you need to put it in every single day. There are some Protein Shots that have up to 20 mg of whey protein in them and they are about 3-5 oz that you can drink just like a shot to get the protein in if you are not able to through food. My advice though would be to reach out to the nutritionist at your Dr. office and/or the Dr. to get a good understanding of what amount of protein you need.
