Just thought I'd help.... :) I can just see people scratching their heads trying to figure out what the idea body weight in kg is LOL

(body weight / 2.2 )*1.1= body weight / 2. (divide the body weight by 2 )
So for person who's ideal body weight is 150 lbs, minimum proteins intake= 150/2= 75 gr.
But if you include that we malabsorb proteins, than you may want to add some ... maybe 20%?
20% of 75 gr = 15 gr.
so the minimum proteins for 150 lbs person may be: t75+15=90 gr.

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. Eleanor Roosevelt
currently: proteins 120-160g per day on a relatively low carb diet. Excluded most grains, starchy carbs, etc.
reason for high proteins:
- on 80-100, or 100-120 had low normal protein blood test results. Now at 120-160 - finally in a mid range.
- due to low carb - the body needs calories - so it is either the fat or proteins... too much fat makes me nauseous. RH - on carbs.

I did about 150-170g a day until riiiiiight about after this pic was taken:
You can begin to see the definition in my arms. But I didn't like the general direction I was going in. About a month later I looked in the mirror and saw something very Lou Ferrigno-esque (not ANY woman's goal). So I cut back to about 100-120g.
Now I look more like this:
Much smoother lines, less bulk. Me likey.

I do 1.7 grams per KG of body weight.
At 215 this places my current protein target at 166grams.
