Hi Margaret, this is why I mentioned I rarely reached anywhere near that level of protein, I used it more as a guide to help me strive toward more healthy proteins in my diet which would naturally reduce carbs. I’d argue 46g is way too low for women, anytime I was close to that amount I would be hungry. On average I reached around 80g of protein per day, some days less, some days more. This is with little to no exercise so whenever I do go back to a regular gym routine I would definitely want to adjust based on hunger levels and how I feel in general.

If you’re curious I’d suggest watching the video I’m referencing to learn more about why Jordan recommends this measurement for protein, he starts talking about it here: https://youtu.be/Vg7c2Bs_uwk?t=173.

As with any dietary guidance, test, and see for yourself. Most people have no idea how to lose weight and focus on all the wrong things. The goal is to get you started with this calculation and track progress for 90 days. If after following the guideline you don’t lose weight and feel better, adjust and go from there. But the key is consistency and allowing yourself enough time to see progress.
