Full after 60g Protein a day?

alquamire

I'm an obese woman (92kg, 166cm) just starting my fairly tame weight-loss journey.
I found I absolutely have no problem eating less calories, though I do overshoot my fat goal a little/a lot.
What absolutely stymies me, though, is the fact that I feel full for the day around 60-70g protein a day, and short of forcing myself to eat or resort to junkfood I am just done eating.
MFP puts my protein minimum for doing pretty much nothing but sitting around at 88g, higher if I actually move around, and other websites are suggesting I eat as much as 140g protein a day.
Can I subside on 70g protein a day, or will that come to bite me in the butt in the long run? If I really shouldn't, then how do I manage to fit more protein in my diet? Yoghurt is an absolute no-go and a fast track to nausea.

60-70 grams of protein per day will be just fine. The RDA for women is 46 grams per day. It's good to have some extra protein while in a deficit which is why MFP bumped their default percentage up from 15% to 20% so that even women who get a 1200 calorie goal will be over the protein RDA.

Here's a link to the US macro recommendations: Dietary Reference Intakes: Macronutrients

I hope so! I weigh about the same as you and like you, feel full with about 60-70 grams protein. Losing weight, feeling good! So I plan to just keep on.
