PROTEIN It's one of the top food groups you need. Forget the pyramid! (in my opinion) For general health, make sure you get at LEAST half (50%) your body weight in grams of protein .   EXAMPLE: If you weigh 200 lbs, then get 100 grams a day for over all health. That's about 34 grams of protein per meal (3 meals). If you want to convert your body from fat storing to fat burning then try 3/4 (75%) of your body weight in grams of protein .  EXAMPLE: If you weigh 200 lbs, then get 175 grams a day for over all health. That's about 58 grams of protein per meal (3 meals).    If you want to build muscle and you lift regularly (please consult physician before starting this on your own) then try the total (100%) pounds of your body weight in grams of protein .  EXAMPLE: If you weigh 200 lbs, then get 200 grams a day for over all health. That's about 67 grams of protein per meal (3 meals) or 50 grams in 4 meals.   (info from Dr. Axe: http://youtu.be/VFSad9Bq...
