Anyone who has a book
could you tell me what the protein requirement is for a woman who is 5'2" and 193 lbs. Thanks a bunch. I ordered the book today but would like to kick the levels up starting today if I can get a number to aim at.

Hi...going from Protein Power Lifeplan, your minimum daily requirement for protein will be around 102g protein. Divided into 3 meals, that would be 34g protein at each meal--but you could divide that up into more meals if you wanted to. Hope this helps.

Steph,
I responded to your other post, but I just found my copy of PPLP hiding in my laptop bag.
Your protein requirement is 34g/meal. So if you eat this amount of protein three times per day, you'll be on track. No biggie if you go over, and it's really hard to overeat protein.

Thank you so much! I think I will try to up my protein intake and see how it goes. I notice I do better naturally when my carb intake is lower and my protein and fats up a bit. I definitely need to read to book front to cover I think.
