@hopelesschronicles: To quickly find if a snack is right for you is to add a zero to the total protein. Don’t forget to look at serving size. and if the total protein with an added zero is more than the total calories than that is a great protein snack. If you were giving general advice to someone else, a simple guideline is: * Sedentary adult: 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight (about 0.36 g per pound). * Generally active: 1.2–1.6 g/kg (about 0.55–0.73 g per pound). * Trying to lose fat while preserving muscle: 1.6–2.2 g/kg (about 0.73–1.0 g per pound). * Building muscle with resistance training: 1.6–2.2 g/kg is also a well-supported range. For most people, an easy rule of thumb is: Aim for about 0.7–1.0 grams of protein per pound of your goal body weight each day if you’re trying to lose fat or build muscle. Examples: * Goal weight 130 lb → 90–130 g/day * Goal weight 150 lb → 105–150 g/day * Goal weight 180 lb → 125–180 g/day For someone who isn’t focused on fitness goals and just wants to stay healthy, simply including a good protein source at each meal is often enough without tracking every gram.
