Hi Carol
I still eat a lot of protein, but I am not trying to lose weight, I am fairly active, and my body seems to need a lot. I do find it easier to use meat or other animal protein for my protein in terms of meal size etc. I find that breakfast is the easiest meal for me to do without animal protein if I want a vegetarian meal, because I can use protein powder. If you are menopausal or post menopausal, soy is a good relatively dense protein source.

: Hi, I have been following the protein
: way (32 grams per meal) since
: starting RR and wonder, is there a
: time when we taper off this amount
: of protein? Is it after Step 7?
: Eventually, I will lose weight,
: and would think adjusting protein
: comes with that. (By the way I am
: on step 3) I am finding that non
: meat sources of protein (I'm not
: vegetarian) require larger amounts
: of food and I feel
: "stuffed"- for example,
: yesterday I had 3 cups chopped
: salad for lunch with my protein in
: chickpeas and a little bacon, with
: 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup sweet
: potato following. I felt way too
: full and wasn't sure if I should
: stop eating when full. Sounds
: silly, but my fullness indicator
: is pretty wacky!
: Thanks
