protien
I keep track of my protein in grams. Today I have had 87 grams, and yesterday I had 85 grams.
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

My target is 60-80 and I try to get as many grams over 60 as possible.

HW: 295; SW: 272; CW: 159; Surgeon's goal: 167; My goal: 140
I average a little over 180.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
My doc's recommendations are 60+ for girls and 80+ for guys. I didn't know height was a factor because I'm a shorty.

My dietitian advises those who are short females to stick closer to 65 grams and those who are tall males to aim for the higher number, 80 or 85. I believe the idea is that the higher your maintenance weight will be, the more protein you should get each day.
