I do a minimum of 60 grams per day, between 60 and 70. I use Diet Organizer which I purchased from www.dietorganizer.com. It tracks everything for me, calories, protein, all the nutritional information I need plus it has a metabolic calculator in it. You can also track your measurements with it, and it tells you how many calories you burn with exercise, which is a great motivator. It costs about 40 or 50 bucks, I can't remember and you can get a free trial of it on the website. As to how I get all I my protein in, I do a 30 gm shake for breakfast, which helps a lot and then I get the rest in at lunch and dinner. I also try to do a protein bar for snacks throughout the day, whenever I can.

I shoot for a minimum of 60 grams each day. 23 of that is my EAS protein drink, then I eat fish or Morningstar Grillers Prime burger (17g) plus I'll snack on high protein foods like reduced fat colby jack cheese sticks, nuts, high protein yogurt, etc.

I'm not 100% sure how much I get in but everything I put in my mouth has protein in it - generally a decent amount. I usually have a protein bar once a day for my evening break/meal and some meat/seafood for lunch, a cheese stick and jerky for snack and eggs or oatmeal/protein powder for breakfast. Most of the water I drink is protein water as well. I don't use anything special to track it - preferring to take that time and spend it exercising After 35 years of counting calories, I just switched modes and track protein I can generally tell if I'm not getting enough though, my body is pretty good about letting me know

I shoot for at least 60 grams. I am generally able to get it by eating protein at every meal. I used to track it using fitday but I haven't been good about it lately. Thanks for the reminder!

My surgeon said I should get 60-80 grams per day. I used fitday.com for several months to get a handle on it, but now I jus****ch what I eat. If I know it's a low-protein day, I'll drink a Slim-fast Low-carb shake (20 grams of protein), but otherwise, I usually do a pretty good job of getting my protein from solid foods.

I haven't kept track in quite a while, but I eat protein first and formost every day. My nutritionist told me if I eat protein first at every meal I'd get all the protein I'd need, so I don't worry so much about it.

I figure I get around 60-80 gm a day. I am not very good about keeping track on fitday or anything. Amazing how I have become so compliant. I don't like that I have become this way but I don't seem to be strong enough to change it. Sally

Honestly, I don't keep track. I always eat my protein first at meals, but don't track how many grams I'm getting. Michele
