Boosting Your Metabolism
Remember Protein first!
Estimating how much Protien
STEP 1
Estimate your ideal weight. "If you're a woman, start with 100 pounds for the first 5 feet in height, and add 5 pounds for every extra inch," says Dr. Apovian. "For men, it's 106 pounds for 5 feet in height, plus 6 pounds for every additional inch. However, if your ideal weight is less than 120 pounds, don't eat less than 82 g of protein daily."
STEP 2
Ideal Weight (in lb) ÷ 2.2 = Ideal Weight (in kg)
STEP 3
Ideal Weight (in kg) × 1.5 = Daily Protein Goal (in g)
