    Hey all, yesterday was wild. Totally missed even posting, and just now am catching up on reading all of yours.

    So, lots of discussion on the topic of daily protein consumption, which I enjoyed. It also got me doing some thinking and googling.

    So out there are references to calculating based on % calories, and other references to grams/lb body weight. Then, since when maintaining weight, your daily calories relates to your body weight, those two concepts are not considered in conflict.

    Now, but what is the gram/lb needed? One site lists, average woman .36g/lb, weight loss woman .7g/lb, muscle gain .8g/lb. (in my working out days, I have seen .8 - 1 g/lb suggested).

    Another site just lists a pure, 46 grams/day for a adult female, unless pregnant or breastfeeding.

    Then I went to a calculator, and used my data. This was the response:

    American Dietetic Association (ADA): at least 63 - 113 grams/day.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): 45 - 158 grams/day (10-35% of daily caloric intake).

    World Health Organization safe lower limit: 52 grams/day.

    Notice the huge range on % of daily calories. From as low as 10% to as high as 35%. (note that none list 40%, since was the % that started this discussion.)

    I continued my questions. So, if we are basing on grams protein per lb body weight, is that based on current weight, or healthy weight for frame? As we know, if we eat all our calories based solely on the needs of our current weight, then we maintain. What about our protein? Are our protein needs based on our current weight, or based on some other weight number? That led to another search, and I came across an interesting page titled, Target Protein Ranges based on "reference weight". Here is the link: https://www.dietdoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/CME-Target-protein-ranges.pdf As I read the first chart, it appears to me that the "reference weights" correspond to a middle subset within "healthy" BMI weights for a given height (or at least it is for my height). From there, using ones "reference weight", based on height, one uses chart two to obtain protein needs. Using my height and these charts, I get a protein need range anywhere from 69 to 108, that works out to .5 - .8 grams/lb of my currently body weight (I happen to currently be in the "reference weight range" for my height), and works out to 19 - 30% of my current targeted daily calories of 1430. For giggles, I used another calculator to see what my "basal" is considered to be. That comes out as 1275 for my current height, weight and age. Not sure how that applies, but it was another number to think about. I also just looked at my MFP protein goal. It currently comes in at 72g/day, which I typically exceed.

    Anyhow, looking forward to seeing where the conversation goes. <3

    My head is spinning after reading all this lol. I too looked around and read much but your deciphering of the facts seem to flow better. I will read this again, and probably again, to get a clearer picture. But, I have indeed lowered my protien down from 40% and will try to meet new more obtainable target.

    @GirlOnTheRebound I am 61, so have had lots of years to get things wrong. :P I do believe what leads to long term success is to have a lifestyle one can continue without undo stress. So, your being able to eat an "easier" amount of protein, should make it all more sustainable. Wishing you success.

    Now for me to remember my own advice. :P

    @CamandJarvis I crocheted an afghan for my DB and SIL while I was flat on my back for 3 weeks after back surgery. I WAS an “old lady” of 32, almost 33!

    @SModa61 I did similar research several years ago and determined that all it did was confuse me! LOL If you figure out an answer, I look forward to hearing it. 😁 I love DietDoctor.com.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    SW RND 215 126.0
    2/21 127.0 Liberally salted chicken. YUM! I haven’t made a rotisserie chicken in ages! I SLEPT almost 8.5 hours!!!
    2/22 128.0 Made “Just like the real thing lasagna” and was so hungry that I ate too much.
    2/23 127.0 It was snowing in Las Vegas yesterday! Definitely weird winter!
    2/24 126.5 Fasting since 11:30 AM yesterday.
    2/25 126.5
    2/26 128.5 Buttered, salted popcorn last night. Weighed before coffee and TMI so I will hope for a better number tomorrow. Great Greek today.
    2/27 128.0 Steak skewer at lunch, plain hamburger at dinner, tiny Greek salad with each
    2/28 127.5 I’m stressed beyond belief by everything! DH ran for HOA board last fall and lost by 10 votes but someone who (or lots of someones) didn’t/doesn’t like the policies of the only candidate who actively campaigned and beat him, started a recall. He’s stressed, I’m stressed. Add to that trying to find reasonably priced housing at our reunion in July for the 14 plus baby. The younger generation is looking at Air BNB sites. I finally said that I can’t deal with it, just find a place where we can squeeze in. I’m sure DH and I can sleep on an air mattress at my sister-in-law’s - we’ve done it before. Oh and sweet blind friend gave us a Dutch Almond Pastry Stick which we didn’t find as wonderful as he does. (He is Dutch) The almond paste was yummy, the pastry not so much. Who doesn’t love crushed almonds and sugar??? Oh dear!
    3/1 127.5 73 days until we cruise! I need to get it together and make an effort! The wind is still howling and it’s RAINING AGAIN! YAY! We need rain and snowmelt! March is coming in like a lion. I hope the lamb arrives soon!

    @CamandJarvis Your remark about earlier dinner caused me to realize that since DH has gone back k to playing cards at the clubhouse our dinner hour has moved at least 2 hours later. Thank you!
