[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nowhere near enough protein [/quote]

Not OP, but I see an egg, peanut butter, chickpeas and lentils on that menu. Depending on OP's size and needs, this could be more than enough protein. [/quote]

Peanut butter is a fat source and chickpeas are carb and fat mostly. Lentils are also mostly carb - the protein is secondary. An egg is 7g of protein. She doesn’t have enough protein. [/quote]

How much protein is needed?[/quote]

Around .8 grams of protein per pound of body weight, especially because OP posted again that she works out 6x a week. There is another thread in the last day or so where a woman is baffled that her body is changing shape - I do not think enough women in their 30s-40s-50s understand the importance of eating enough protein to sustain a healthy amount of muscle, which your body will begin to lose as you age. Getting enough protein is REALLY important . I weigh 104 lbs so if you multiply that by .8, you get about 85g of protein a day. Op is 5’2 so anywhere from 104-120 lbs most likely . She needs between 85-120g of protein a day in that range. Her posted meal plan has NOWHERE near that. She’s probably around 40g total. [/quote]
