I’m 26, female, about 5’4 and 145 lbs. For a while now I’ve been aiming to get 50-80 grams of protein a day but I’ve recently come to realize that this might not be enough, especially as I’m aiming to put on muscle.
It’s challenging because the only meat I eat is fish and I can’t afford to buy fresh fish all the time. I eat canned tuna and sardines, but it gets very boring and monotonous, plus with bigger fish like tuna I worry about mercury.
I feel like as a short-ish woman it’s challenging to meet my protein goals while keeping my calories at or under 1500. I guess I’m going to start aiming for 120 grams of protein a day. Does that seem right? I read somewhere that one gram per lb of your goal weight should be good.
Sorry this is rambly. Just hoping for some advice, insights, or personal experience.
