How much protein in a day?

Hello fellow Juners ~Hugs~ I was wondering how much protein you all take in each day, I am about 600-800 most of the time. Back when I had my check up they said it should be around that but now that we are 7 months out how much do you take in? I know eating to little or to much protein you will stop losing so I was just wondering... Thanks for sharing ~hugs~ Debra P

HEY debra... im confused a drop by your post 600 - 800 grams? PER my surgeon and his nutritionist my goal range in protein is about 70 - 80 grams a day. I meet that sometimes shy sometimes over. MY blood work has been fine and my surgeon checks protein levels when its done so i dont worry. I dont know DONT know if i helped you any? lisa

Lisa, Doh.... I meant to say 50-70 grams of protein a day.... Thanks hun ~Hugs~ Debra P

Oppsss I meant to say I am getting about 50-70 grams of protein a day and 600-800 claories... Dohhhhh... Sorry Debra P

personally I think ur protein is good .... i think ur calories need to be higher to avoid starvation mode where the body holds onto the fat and u dont loose. THATS why i think u see bigger losses at times when ur eating more carbs....but still keeping them down. I tend to add calories in w/ butter, and not useing lo fat mayo...and real dressings vs lo fat. JUSt a trick i learned when following atkins. I am slow looseing this month but i expected it ! FOR me when i see the slo down like i am this week i get in my strawberries and nuts so im gonna try that again this week. AS i said in the past does it help? i dont know but everytime i try it my loss picked up again for me. HANG in their and i think you need your calories up a drop just my thoughts. but im not an expert! GOOD LUCK LISA

Lisa, Yeah I might need to up them but it is hard to up them when you hit the limit on carbs and protein. I do like the idea of using real butter and all to add calories plus it is good for our skin and system. I will try to add more stuff like that to get the calories up some. Thanks hun Debra P

i try to eat about 1200 calories a day, with a minimum of 70 g. of protein. seems to be working pretty well. i think it depends on how active you are, how much exercise, etc. the more you do, the more you must eat! Holly

I strive for 75, but lately have been getting in about 50. I know I need to get back to the basic rules though if I want to continue losing.

About 70... but my calories are between 600-1000 I think... varies kinda widely... or at least what I WRITE DOWN at fitday.com varies widely
