    I wanna slay 20 lbs!!

    SW:160lbs
    CW:150lbs
    GW: 140lbs

    I'm doing a 90 day challenge (with my kickboxing studio) and im a little over a month in, lost 10 lbs but having trouble eating enough protein! I dont even know the right way to calculate it, any suggestions??

    I usually eat at least 30g of protein a day, but myfitnesspal shows i should be eating 60g a day!

    If you're losing weight and active, I'd suggest 0.6-0.8g protein daily per pound of healthy goal weight, which in your case would be 84-112g. Obviously, that's way more than 30.

    Take a look at the spreadsheet linked in this thread:

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10247171/carbs-and-fats-are-cheap-heres-a-guide-to-getting-your-proteins-worth-fiber-also

    Find foods you enjoy in the spreadsheet, eat more of those, and less of something else that isn't as helpful in meeting your goals.

    Best wishes! :)

    Hmilly, way to go on your weight loss progress! Keep slaying those pounds! And yep I definitely agree with AnPT77 calculation for basic protein requirements: 0.6-0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. And there are so many food sources that come to mind to easily meat that like poulty, meat generally, and fish. Of course, there plenty other sources of proteins (plant-based, etc.). Go with what works for you and keep on slaying those pounds! --Peace! B)

    I'm working on losing 1 pound a week for March. It's coming off slower now, but it's not jumping up. Yay to that!

    GW: was 135, but now I'm thinking 132 so I can flex up a few pounds and not have it affect the way my new jeans fit.
