Greetings Buddies:
So, I logged another day of getting in over 130 grams of protein!
I read an article that says an active woman should consume between .8 and 1.1 grams of protein per pound of their desired weight!
If my goal is to weigh 160 pounds then I would multiply 160 times .8 (128 grams) and 1.1 (176 grams) and then eat protein grams somewhere in that range!
It seems I am in the range when I try to eat at least 130 grams of protein per day!
I am looking forward to see how I do in my workouts this week - whether eating more protein will change my energy and performance level at Orange Theory Fitness!
I am dedicated, determined, and diligent!

Yep. I've read that, or a similar, article too. Very true! But then I read another that said you don't need quite that much, that blah blah blah. Anyway, I think it's a good target for you. Keep it up there! :D

Great job on getting that protein in. Are you finding it easier as the days go by?

Now I am jealous - I can barely get mine over 100 grams. Guess I need to take a sneak peak at your food diary to see how you did that!

That should easily allow you to retain your muscle mass on the diet as well. Way you go now. Breakfast steak. Yeah!
