So I've been researching protein and how much a person needs on a daily basis. I found a formula that says a person should have 7 grams of protein for every 20lbs. So for me it would work like this.....
240 lbs divided by 20 = 12
12 x 7 = 84 grams of protein a day
As I lose weight I can adjust the amount of protein I'll need. This helps temendously! Now I don't feel like I'm walking around in the dark trying to figure things out. I need to go out tomorrow and buy some greek yogurt. I want to start making smoothies. I like to take frozen berries, yogurt, vanilla extract, and a sweetener (in this case, stevia) and blend it up. It's a quick and easy breakfast that's full of healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. =)
