For real, lasting weight loss to happen, it is absolutely vital to eat a healthy diet, and specifically to make sure that you are eating enough protein in a day.
So how much protein per day?
Current dietary recommendations say that the average person should eat 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight.
So if you weigh:
150 pounds (68kg) = approx. 55 grams of protein per day.
To convert pounds to kilograms we divide 150/2.2 = 68 (approx).
Meal ideas high in protein:
Breakfast - eggs, warm cereal with walnuts, high protein shake
Lunch - Salad with chicken breast, bean quesadillas
