hello I been using my fitness app to log in my meals since April I have lost about 18 pounds or my prepregnancy weight and want to lose another 15. I can't seem to get enlighten protein my body requires daily. Any tips or advice would help! I do work out 4 to 5 times a week and I do weight training right now.

    You could always look at suppliments. I'm not a fan of most of them since they contain a lot of other ingredients. I am using Syntha 6 Isolate for its low sugar and calorie content. 25g of protein per scoop. Tastes pretty good too. I just did not want to eat as much food as it would have taken to get to my protein goal. Good luck!
