Nothing Dr. Oz says is credible.

Agreed. He let a podiatrist tell the world to spray their flip flops with HAIRSPRAY in the summer to keep them from slipping. Hahaha.
BUT.. to get more protein just try the powder's I used to make a coffee drink and mix it in there. It was Yummy0 -
Agree that some of what Dr. Oz is now recommending is starting to remind me more of an infomercial, than actual medical advice. It seems it shouldn't be a set amount of protein, but a percentage based on your calorie intake & current weight. I have mine custom set at 25%, based on the latest nutritional recommendations. If you get too much protein, although I think the opposite is more of a problem, then it can leech the calcium from your body (if you don't get enough calcium) & could cause osteoporosis, especially in women.0

i eat 180 grams of protein over 5 meals. His 75 grams recommendation is reasonable, depending on your weight and your goals, of course. If you're trying to build muscle or engaged in strenuous physical activities it's most likely too low.0

On what basis did he recommend 75g of protein? A blanket approach for everyone?
And what on Earth is a lean protein?
lean protein: meats with lower fat content ie: chicken, fish, lean cuts of beef.
4oz of chicken breast and 4oz of hamburger meat might have equal protein
But one is LEAN with less fat and less calories.
Come on now bro!0 -
75 grams of protein PER meal? Now we're talking.
Bison steak, stat!
Eff that. Bring on the ribeye.
Gaawwwd I would take either right now. I'm hangry. But I do prefer the flavor of bison over beef.0 -
The link to what he was referring to, although after looking at the literature, it was not how he presented it...he matter of fact said to get "75 grams of protein over 3 meals...25 a meal". I am not a fan...just happened to be waiting for our local news to start.

my dr reccomended 10 per lb of body weight much more than dr oz who knows. I find protein helps saitiate me so I eat about 100-125 a day0

I aim for 115 grams of protein (1 gram per pound of LBM) but some days I get a lot higher. Yesterday I was at 130grams. I try to eat greek yogurt, cheese, chicken, protein bars, protein powder almost daily. Protein powder is my go to.0

I eat at least 100g a day. MFP protein goals are set really low.
But...I just can't bring myself to agree with anything Dr. Oz says, so....75 GRAMS IS TOO LOW RAWR.0 -
I strive for at least 100 grams per day, but this week I've been averaging 112 grams per day. Protein not only helps fill you, but it curbs your cravings as well. Took my trainer months to drill this into my head.0

Can you eat bulky protein instead?0

I have 25% of my calories as protein which for my daily 1530 cals gives me over 90g.
There is some good evidence that higher protein helps with satiety and may help with maintenance of weight loss. There was a large study called Diogenes which looked at weight loss and maintenance on different diets, mainly focussing on protein and GI. The higher protein 25% and lower GI was the most successful.
Here's a good summary article in Science Daily. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101124171536.htm0 -
Pfffffffffffffft...so basically get skinny fat by creating a protein deficit...wow...."lean protein"(low fat) preferably unprocessed(chicken breast vs whey protein isolate). The TEF for the chickbreast is 30% so your losing 15 grams out of every 50gr as heat! Go ahead of skinny fat and undermuscled is whats up....horrible advice.0

I aim for 120-140g daily. My lean mass is hovering just shy of 120 lbs.0
-
The protein goals on MFP should be considered minimums (and even at that, the default setting is too low).0
-
You should aim for 1g of protein per pound of body weight. If you're obese then you can use your BMI. There is no way you can have a blanket statement of 75g for everyone.0
-
I do. I get about 125g a day. Protein is more thermogenic. Your metabolism is going to burn harder from it.0

My trainer had me set my goals to 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein and that brought the protein goal up. If that helps anybody who is complaining about the protein goals on here being too low. I will try to figure out how I did that and post the directions.
Edit: Go to goals, click change goals, then mark the circle for custom and click continue. On the next page there will be drop down boxes for you to go through and change the carbs and stuff. When I chose 40% carbs, the fat and protein automatically changed to 30% and I saved it.0
