My sister inspired me to do some protein planning for the ladies! This is based off a 120 lb female requiring 43 grams and is not taking into account fat, cholestrol, salt, or individual factors, so keep that in mind!!! This is not a prescription, but a place to begin creating your own plan.
With a little extra effort, you can tweak these numbers, add other foods, etc. Let me know if you have questions! Happy Planning!
