That's one gem of an article BrianTheElder. Thanks for the link.
A year ago I calculated my protein intake needs - (my lean body mass is 100 pounds (45.4 kilograms).
45.4 kg x .8 g/kg lean body mass = 36.3 g. Thanks for the reminder.
I see that I'm still too high in protein...
Morning omelet - 20.7 g protein
egg: 6 g protein
broccoli: 1.7 g protein
slice of bacon: 6 g protein
1 oz of cheddar: 6 g protein
yellow onion: 1 g protein
butter: 0 g protein
Afternoon salad - (leafy greens, avocado, tomato, pecans, and vinaigrette - 8.6 g protein
mixed leafy greens: 3.6 g protein
1/2 avocado: 2 g protein
1 oz pecans: 3 g protein
olive oil and apple cider vinegar: 0 g protein
Dinner - Meat or poultry with vegetables - 22 g protein
beef (22 g), pork (23 g), or poultry 22.7 g protein
That puts me at 51.3 g protein and doesn't include protein from vegetables at dinner.
I need a higher lean body mass.
