I know that on this site, there is a protein reccomendation, but I am not sure if it is accurate to my needs because it also says that I only need 18 grams of fiber when I know for a fact that it is reccomended that women need 25g a day. Anyone know of any websites that can help me calucate it?

    My Dr. recommends women eat 20 grams 4 times a day, men 30 grams 4 times a day. He states that is "adequate" protein. If you have liver or kidney issues you would want to check with your Dr. as too much protein can be harmful for those conditions.
