You should aim for 15 to 20 grams of protein per meal to keep your metabolism revved up, per Karen Ansel, RD. About 2 to 3 ounces of lean meat, poultry, or fish will do it. You can also get protein in other foods; read the nutrition labels. Just because a product says PROTEIN on the label doesn't mean you should have it. For instance, the product shown below is a good product and this is not to condemn it. However, it does show the importance of reading the nutrition labels. 5 grams protein and 19 grams sugar per 1 cup. It is especially important for diabetics and dieters to not be fooled by the word Protein on the label. There is not enough protein in this product to counteract the amount of sugar.
Follow your doctor's advice. There are certain medical conditions in which one has to limit protein.
