Q: How much protein and fiber is recommended per day? A: Protein: Most experts recommend that your protein intake be somewhere between 15 and 30% of your daily calorie intake. When you've determined your desired percentage of protein, multiply that percentage by the total number of calories for the day. Example: For a 140lb female, calorie intake=1800 calories, protein=15%: 1800 x .15 = 270 calories from protein. Since 1 gram of protein = 4 calories, divide protein calories by four: 270/4 = 67.5 grams of protein per day. Fiber: According to the American Heart Associations you should get between 25-35mg of fiber daily and according to American Diabetes Association it helps regulate blood sugar.
