The Perfect Day of High Protein Meals for Weight Loss
As mentioned in an earlier blog, a key factor in maintaining weight loss is to consume high quality protein in the amounts of around 0.8 grams protein per kilogram of body weight.
So if you weigh 150 pounds (68kg), then you should eat around 55 grams of protein in a day.
Here is an idea of a daily menu plan from Grandmother's Kitchen that will provide you with about 55-70 grams of protein in a day.
