Denise,

If you keep a food diary, it will tell you how much protein you're getting.

I use the FitDay PC software, but FitDay also has a free online diary at http://www.fitday.com/.

Others (3 of many available on the web) can be found here:

http://nutritiondata.self.com/

http://fatsecret.com/

http://www.livestrong.com/myplate/

If I weren't using FitDay, I think I would use NutritionData because the nutrient breakdown is the most extensive I've seen.

Some of the sites have smartphone apps too, which means you can keep track on the go.

I get about 115-125 grams protein/day. (Usual weight is around 141, except after steroidal pre-meds. Every chemo, I gain 5-7 pounds overnight, but it all comes off again in 2 or 3 days.)
