Hi, just wondering.... how many grams of protein does a female need to have on a daily basis? I know this site has it set a certain amount, but I keep hearing different amounts from others. I am trying to figure this out for myselt. Any suggestions? Thanks

    It depends who you ask really. I honestly don't believe in the whole protein thing too much. I am 5'8", 210 lbs and I eat about 100-130 grams of protein a day.

    I have mine set to 30% which comes out to 98g for my 1300 calorie daily goal.
