How Much Protein Should I Eat ?

Worried if you're getting enough protein? There's no cut-and-dried answer for how many grams a woman should get each day — it depends on your weight, your activity level, and whether or not you're pregnant.

Take your weight in pounds and divide it by 2.2 to figure out your weight in kilograms. Then multiply that number by 0.8 (not very active), 1.3 (active or pregnant), or 1.8 (extremely active), depending on how much exercise you get.

Other sources say differently - same multipliers but per puns of body weight - this really is confusing...

Below is a quick, simple and basic list of the most common high protein foods.

Chicken (skinless)
Turkey (skinless)
Fish (all kinds)
Beef (leaner cuts)
Pork (leaner cuts)
Whole Eggs
Egg Whites
Protein Supplements (whey protein powder, casein protein powder, protein bars, etc.)
Beans (all kinds)
Nuts (all kinds)
Milk
Cheese

You just need to know that 1 gram of protein contains 4 calories.
