Anyone find the protein requirement high?

Problem is most people don't get enough daily protein. I found a grreat product. it is 100% pasturized egg whites in a liquid form and safe. It's a naturaul protien with no powders or fillers and grreat for vegitareans. also it has no taste or smell so you can make chocolate milk with it:happy:

I have health issues and needed to find a way to eat healthy including protien that wasn't going to make me feel weighd down like alot of meat, beans, and powders do. I just started so I'll keep you up on my success

weird... I"m actually a vegan and I don't have a protein problem at all. Like yesterday I had spinach, nuts, mushrooms, peppers, and some WHLOE GRAIn (not whole wheat .... big diff) tortillas and my protien was just fine.

I am having trouble staying under my carb and protien levels. I pre planned my meals and snacks for the day. I am 37 calories under, 37 under for fat, but am 11 g over for protien and 61 over for carbs. I am allowed 228 carbs and 62 protien.

Most people go UNDER? Where did you get that. I have only ever read that most people consume 2 to 3 times as much as they need. Americans eat WAY more protein than any other country and we're the fatest. You are eating fish, beans, nuts, your golden. Thats all good for you- don't stress about the fact that you aren't eating decaying animal flesh.

There are two common methods for estimating protein needs: Grams per bodyweight, and percent of calories.

Like you, I prefer grams per bodyweight, but percent of calories is also widely used by dietitians. MFP uses percent of calories. The MFP default percent is 20%. That can be high or low as compared with grams per bodyweight estimates. That 20% is around the middle of the most common recommended percentage range.

My reading suggests that 0.8g per kg is a basic recommendation for an average person to avoid serious under-nutrition. Recent research suggests that protein needs are more situation-specific, and that some subgroups' optimal protein may be much higher than 0.8 g/kg.

There are indications that people benefit from more protein when losing weight, active at work or via exercise, healing from surgery or even illness, aging, and more.

At the same time, since protein intake is mainly to maintain lean body mass, 0.8g per kilogram could be more than essential for someone who is extremely overweight, and challenging to reach if they're trying to fit that in on greatly reduced calories. (NB: I wouldn't recommend severe calorie restriction unless severely obese and under close medical supervision for deficiencies or complications.)

IMO, this site has a good summary of current research, and a protein "calculator" based on research. I believe the write-up suggests that someone who's substantially overweight can use a healthy goal weight in the calculator portion.

The site is generally regarded as neutral, and science-based. (They don't sell supplements or diet programs or anything of that nature.) The text includes links to relevant research.

As an aside, this is a thread from 2009. I'm not sure whether you found it by searching MFP, or if a spammer waked it up (but their post has since deleted by moderators). If you found it by searching, I'd suggest caution with old threads: Nutritional science has moved on a good lot over the years, so advice may not be current, and during some time periods there's been a lot of trendy nonsense and diet mythology on the site.

Best wishes!
