Protein Intake requirements

I've got a question. I read a post that someone's doctor fussed that she was eating "too much" protein. Does our protein requirements lower as our weight lowers? I've never thought of that...I was told to take in 80-100 gms per day. How much protein is everyone getting...just wondering. Congratulations everyone on your 6 month anniversary!

I was told 60 grams of protein (min) a day None of my paperwork shows anything differently or any adjustments by weight. But heck around here every doctor is different so who knows what is right or wrong.

Hi there Jeanie, I am taking in at least 2 protein shakes which I know are 20 mgs of protein . I now can eat meat so I am taking in more protein that way and from cheese also. I can't be doing so wrong with it because my hair is now growing in....... Lorraine RNY 12/15/03....245 LBS 6/15/04............153 LBS AT GOAL IDEAL DRS GOAL....135? HOPE TO GET THERE

Hi there Jeannie, I mean 20mg each so I am getting at least 40mg and the meat I eat......Take care ........Lorraine
