What is your ideal weight? Some go back to their high school days, but a weight when you were lien and trim. My guess you will be around 45 grams or so.</p></div> Fiona Westby tag:drrosedale.tenderapp.com,2010-09-16:Comment/10976656 2011-10-30T23:09:06Z 2011-10-30T23:09:06Z <div><p>thanks, fiona - i really appreciate your wise feedback!!<br> i had a feeling it was too high. i suppose what the book meant to say is, half of your goal weight, not half of your current weight (unless your current weight actually is your goal weight!)<br> My goal weight at the moment is 130. That may change but I think it would be a good weight for me at the moment. So... 65 grams a day? Or I could just aim for about 50. I don't eat meat so I'll just count whatever protein is in fish, nuts, the high protein tortillas, etc. Tell me what sounds right to you. Should I aim for 65 now, 50 later?</p></div> willow
