Re: How much protein?
Sorry to be a little late in this conversation but I thought I'd share the calculations we use for patients. For an average, healthy individual we use 0.8g/kg of protein. Depending on individual health and circumstances I would increase that calculation accordingly. On average for my patients with breast cancer undergoing treatment with no complications I would estimate protein at 1.2g/kg. Hope that helps in addition to that which you have already received.
