As a Bander how much protein a day should I aim for?

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

I know I read this in several places but I just cant track it down now

Can some one remind me just how many grams of protein a day I should be aiming for....Ive been keeping a food log on "foodFocus" so I could monitor my intake but now cant see what I should judge it against....what a dopey tart

O.K. I'm a bit dull but what can I get protein from if I don't eat meat or cheese. How many ounces is 60g? Thanks for any help here!

Milk, eggs, soups, protien shakes, Im using a website recomended to me by Shellbell called foodfocus.co.uk its an online food diary and exercise log and works really well and it tells you a break down of how much protein, fat, carbs and fibre as well as cals your getting everyday ....I have found it really helps me to just monitor Im actually eating enough as not really hungry at all yet as only 3 weeks post op with my band...have a look it may help xx
