If that is what a doctor or her nutrionist has told her, she probably needs to up her protein. That's why you need extra protein, to keep your muscle mass.

Maybe she should try less cardio and more toning/strength exercises for now and definitely try to get more protein...When I work out hard...I use amino acids...I will start as soon as the weather is nice to swim again...

she needs to take 2000 mg of calcium 2x a day .and and 25000mg of vitamin d every day. your prteine drinks isnt enough. you need whole grains, walnuts, lagoons, and beans is a sources of protein.

Feed her body Protien, at least 70 percent opf her calories from pretien, like meat, fish, soy beans, low fat dairy, etc.
