Hi- I'm new to the forum.
Has anyone seen this statement or something similar?
"Ideally, you should consume 0.36 grams of protein for every pound of body weight, according to recommended daily allowances (RDA) set by the Food and Nutrition Board. So if you weigh 170 pounds, you need about 61 grams of protein each day. " medicinenet web site.
I'm trying to get a enough calories in my daily eating though I'm not sure how concerned I should be that my protein intake usually gets pretty high. Should I really be careful not to get too much protein? Does anyone have good research on this?
My daily number go something like this> (calories, protein)
Opt. Cereal (250, 12) – 1 EdenSoy milk (130, 11) – 1 12grain bread (120, 4) – 1 tbsp. Smart margarine (45) - 2 tbsp. Udo’s (125) – Veggie patty (320, 22) – 1 rice (216, 5) – 1 lentils (80, 7) -1 Sun Multigrain chips (210, 4) – 1 Opt. Cereal (200, 8) – 1 banana – 1 peach – 3 servings vegetables (carrots - spinach - brocolli)
Daily total = 1821 calories – 69 protein
My height is 5 '11 and weight is 140.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks.
