How much protein should I eat when i am on a diet?
Well the amount of protein you should eat when your on a diet will depend on how many calories you eat in a day. Remember that this means that you are not working out and trying to build muscle, merely trying to lose weight while on a diet. The recommendation is that protein should form 10% – 35% of your daily caloric intake.
For Example:
If your diet keeps you at 1800 calories a day, approximately 180 – 630 of that should come from protein.
How did i work it out? Here it is:
1800 calories x 0.10 = 180 calories
1800 calories x 0.35 = 630 calories
So 10% – 35% of 1800 calories = 180 – 630 calories from protein
So how many grams of protein should I eat in a day?
There are 4 calories in a single gram of protein. Therefore 180 – 630 calories in terms of grams of protein would be roughly 45 – 157.5 grams of protein. Here’s a list of protein calories and grams you should be eating depending on the calories in your diet:
■If you’re on a 1200 calorie diet, 120-420 calories (30-105 grams) of protein are recommended.
■If you’re on a 1400 calorie diet, 140-490 calories (35-122.5 grams) of protein are recommended.
■If you’re on a 1500 calorie diet, 150-525 calories (37.5-131.25 grams) of protein are recommended.
■If you’re on a 1600 calorie diet, 160-560 calories (40-140 grams) of protein are recommended.
■If you’re on a 2000 calorie diet, 200-700 calories (50-175 grams) of protein are recommended.

Recommended Daily Carb intake....
50-100 grams/day – Primal Sweet Spot for Effortless Weight Loss
Minimizes insulin production and ramps up fat metabolism. By meeting average daily protein requirements (.7 – 1 gram per pound of lean bodyweight formula), eating nutritious vegetables and fruits (easy to stay in 50-100 gram range, even with generous servings), and staying satisfied with delicious high fat foods (meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds), you can lose one to two pounds of body fat per week and then keep it off forever by eating in the maintenance range.
