RE: More Protein Calculations

[Guest guest]

I don’t know how they expect you to

get that much protein in considering the amount of food we can eat after

surgery. I have been following the formula I posted and have had no troubles

with my levels and blood work. Maybe these calculations require the extensive

use of a protein supplement along with regular food intake but they seem

extremely high to me.

More Protein Calculations

I got

this protein table at the SALSA support group in Roseville,

CA. This was given to us by the speaker Dr.

Hendricks, a bariatric

physician from Roseville, CA.

Female

5'1 " 76 grams

5'2 " 80

5-3 84

5-4 87

5-5 91

5-6 95

5-7 98

5-8 102

5-9 105

Male

5-6 103

5-7 107

5-8 111

5-9 116

5-10 120

5-11 124

If you're shorter or taller I guess you can figure

it out by the

progression the calculations are taking. I

don't remember where he

said these calculations came from but are sure way

different from the

one we've been talking about. For me at

5'2 " it's almost twice as

much protein as the other one.

He also recommended no more than 40 grams of carbs

a day and

supplementation with Acetyl Carnitine.

Because of the way our new insides are arranged, it is very important to

get in the proper amount of protein every day. Taking in enough protein helps

with muscle, tissue and nerve development and helps you lose weight. Do you

know how much protein you are supposed to have each day? Below is a formula to

figure out how many grams of protein you should have each day. Protein should

come from meats, fish, cheeses and other fermented dairy products. If you

cannot get in enough protein from food, you can supplement with a low calorie,

low carbohydrate protein supplement.

·

Start

with the base number of 105.

·

Add 5 to

the base number for every inch over 5 feet.

·

Add 10%

of that total if you have a large frame or 5% if you have a medium frame.

·

Divide

that number by 2.2.

·

Multiply

that number by 0.9 to get the total number of grams of protein you should be

taking in each day.

Here’s an example for a 5’8” medium framed individual:

105

+40 (8x5=40)

145

+ 7.25 (5% of 145 is 7.25)

152.25

¸ 2.2

69.2

x 0.9

62.3 grams of protein

each day

Do you know how much protein there is in some of our favorite foods?

4 oz. of non-fat milk 4 grams

1 large egg 6 grams

1 oz. of cheese 7 grams

3 oz. of grilled salmon 22 grams

3 oz. of tuna 22 grams

3 oz. of filet mignon 23 grams

4 oz. of boneless chicken breast 25 grams
