Second article:  "However, for the average person (who is not an elite athlete or heavily involved in body building) it's probably best to aim for no more than 2 gm/kg; that would be [b]about 125 grams/day for a 140-pound person[/b]."[/quote]

125 grams is a lot. I’m at 200 pounds and a high protein diet”. My goal is 120, but I’m usually closer to 100-110.

Now why protein? Because I’m down 100 pounds and a 50 year old woman. I like 120 minutes a week with a trainer, and am trying to lose weight but maintain muscle. You need the protein for that. Lot of Skyr, other low fat dairy, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, lentils, veggies. Also, fruit. Right now, I’m liking dried mangos (not the ones coated in sugar, the ones where mayos are the only ingredient). Dietician approved, but they like me to pair it with a protein— fruit and skyr or cheese, for example. [/quote]
