In our North American diet, we have in general too many proteins on a daily basis. If you start to count the number of proteins you should eat, it corresponds roughly to 0.8 times your weight (ideal weight) in kilograms. So if I weight 60KG, then I should eat in total on a daily basis 48 grams of proteins. If you are still on shakes and bars for two meals a day, you have 15 grams of proteins per shake and 10 grams of proteins per bar, you are already up to 40 grams of proteins. So your extra meal can have about 8-10 grams and you are all set for your day. Just so that you know, a glass of soy milk has 7 grams of proteins. Therefore, you are most probably eating eating a lot more proteins than what you need on a daily basis. Start to look at your menu and how you can make it so it meets your body requirements!
