Your dalily allowance

The protein numbers they put up are based on your data. In other words, that is your recommended allowance for what you weight, your exercise, and how much you want to lose. How much you actually consumer is up to you and your diet.

For instance, my daily allotment of protein is supposed to be 87.05g per day. However, I need more protein on the days I ride to help my legs recover from the workouts. On days I do not ride, my protein intake is right around that number. On the days I do ride, my protein is about 140g, so I blow it out of the water. My experience, extra protein is not bad, just make sure you get enough fiber into your diet or you will get all kinds of clogged up.

When losing weight, your main concerns are going to be carbs, fat, and sugar. Keep those in line and you should be fine.
