Is this accurate ? I know MFP is way under what we should have but does this seem right

  No, it's not right. It's suppose to be between 0.8 and 1.0 grams per kilogram of body weight not per pound. This is double what is actually recommended by nutritionists.

  That seems very high. My dietitian told me 25g per meal. That site wanted 60g per meal.
