Based on a high protein bar wrapper the RDA is 50g (based on 70% of RDA being 35g.) Yup, the recommendation is based on body weight though so YMMV US RDA is 0.36 grams for every pound of body weight. So if you weigh 150 pounds: ..36 * 150 = 54 grams of protein per day WHO recommends .45 grams/kg of protein. Since 150 pounds is aboug 68 kg, 68 * .45 = 30.6 grams of protein per day to meet WHO guidelines |

Howdy;
GENERALLY speaking, your body needs about .4 grams of protein per pound of body weight for maintenance of muscle, etc.. If you are active you will need more. Also, I would strongly suggest that you take a multivitam or two per day as you will not get enough from a high protein diet. Also have your kidney functions tested every couple weeks as this "diet" plan will stress them dearly. Regards Dan 8/21/03 266/250/200 "tHatDudeUK" wrote in message ...

Is there anything I can do to reduce the chance of stressing my kidneys? IE. Eating a particular food type every so often?! What warning signs should I look for with Kidney problems or should I be asking my GP about dieting and asking to be referred to a dietician for this sort of testing? |

It's always a good idea to talk to your doctor if you're making a change in eating habits. You can be tested to see if you have any existing kidney problems that you might not be aware of. If you do, then you most definitely need to avoid too much protein since that can make things much worse. If you don't currently have kidney problems, it might still be good to occasionally get tested to make sure nothing develops if you're intent on eating more protein than your body actually needs. |

A practically all protein diet? A really bad idea. 20% by calories
of protein is plenty. You don't need more than 70g protein - thats 280 calories. "tHatDudeUK" wrote in message ... How much protein should I be trying to stick to each day with such a diet? Any recommended foodstuffs? Any good websites? Thanks in advance. tHatDudeUK |

Roger,
Nine grams of protein for every 20 pounds is more accurate (or 1 gram/kilogram) - for a 160 pounder, that's 72 grams. For the best info about protein and diet, in my opinion, see http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritio...e/protein.html Americans typically eat far more protein than they need (me included). Excess protein puts a burden on the kidneys. "Roger Zoul" wrote in message ... Brad Sheppard wrote: :: A practically all protein diet? A really bad idea. 20% by calories :: of protein is plenty.

Recommended foodstuffs are lots of veg, fruit, legumes,
and whole grains, 4 oz meat/fish/chicken a day for B12 and high-absorption iron, some dairy if you can tolerate it, and steam or stir fry your food, don't deep fry. tHatDudeUK wrote: How much protein should I be trying to stick to each day with such a diet?
