There is alot of different info in the raw food world about this. For me a try to stay around 10% protein from the total calories I eat in a day. I also try to keep my fat at 10% also. I'm still new to all the raw food stuff but most of our calories should come from fruit and veggies. <BR/><BR/>115-pound woman:41.5g protein<BR/>0.36 grams of protein x 115 pound= 41.5 grams of protein per day.<BR/><BR/>41.5 grams of protein contain approx. 166 calories <BR/>(41.5 x 4= 180)<BR/><BR/>For regular activity and your eating about 1800 calories per day, this is the amount of protein that would come to 10% for the total day.<BR/><BR/>You might want to use an online food diary site to track what you eat for a few days to get your % totals to find out how much you are getting. Nutridiary is a good one here is there link<BR/>http://www.nutridiary.com also the 80/10/10 diet book is a really good resource by Dr. Douglas Graham.<BR/><BR/>P.S. My sister puts a hemp protein powder in her green smoothies in the morning that she says helps her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
