Clarification About Protein  

QUESTION:

Hi Tia,

Just have a question about the amount of protein per day I should be having. Seventy seven grams is about 2.7 oz. That can't be per day? Per meal maybe? I'm confused....or may my conversion is wrong?

ANSWER:

You can't look 77 grams as a weighted measurement   It is 77 grams of  protein. 

Example: Chicken breast, 3.5 oz has 30 grams protein

How I calculated how much protein needed:

Your weight in lbs divided by 2.2 = your weight in kilograms

take your weight in kilograms x 1 = for protein requirements

I explain how to get protein in on my blog.
