Q: I’m unclear on how to get the ‘recommended’ amounts of protein without pigging out, and/or eating some truly unappealing stuff.A lot of the stuff on-line is just useless. To wit:”In fact, you can get the 71 grams of protein you need each day during pregnancy by having three cups of milk or soy milk, one cup of tofu, four cups of brown rice, and a cup of yogurt.”From http://www.babycenter.com/expert/2286.html — it’s for pregnant women, but. (The recommendation for pregnancy is only a 10g/day increase.)That unappetising recommendation works out to *1576* calories. Useful it is not.Suggestions for realistic intake, then?

A: This all depends upon how many calories you eat on average per day.We need 4-9% of our calories coming from protein. It’s easier to count grams of protein, rathern than calories.Each gram of protein contains 4 calories.For 2000 calories per day:4% = 80 protein calories, or more simply, 20 grams of protein9% = 180 protein calories, or more simply, 45 grams of proteinNow, you do the math based upon your average daily caloric intake.As for a specific protein souce, ALL foods contain protein, so as long as you eat a variety, really there is no need to worry about this.
