Protein
Hello! How much protein does everyone get in a day? I'm wondering if I need to up my protein so that I can start loosing again? Right now I just have a morning protein shake for breakfast (Protein from Wal Mart) and then just eat protein first through the day, and try to keep the carbs low. I seem to remember seeing someone on here before my surgery that said that protein was very important in her weight loss. I never really got to my goal of 170, but was happy where I was. Now I'm back up a few pounds and trying to see where I can change things. Please let me know what works for you. Thanks!
