How Much Protein Per Day For Weight Loss?

For real, lasting weight loss to happen, it is absolutely vital to eat a healthy diet, and specifically to make sure that you are eating enough protein in a day.

So how much protein per day?

Current dietary recommendations say that the average person should eat 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight.

So if you weigh:

150 pounds (68kg) = approx. 55 grams of protein per day.

To convert pounds to kilograms we divide 150/2.2 = 68 (approx).

Meal ideas high in protein:

Breakfast - eggs, warm cereal with walnuts, high protein shake

Lunch - Salad with chicken breast, bean quesadillas

High Protein Smoothie
