[NBR] Question for WW ladies

Do you allot a specific amount of points each day to proteins?  Getting in enough protein the one thing I was never able to master on the Flex plan.  The materials are so vague on how much you're supposed to have a day, which seems odd because most of the other food groups have defined daily minimums.

I've talked to several leaders and asked on the WW message boards, but I get different answers from everyone.

    Hi Jamie!  I dont' really set aside a protein amount daily but I do eat some sort of protein for lunch and dinner.  I love that I can have 2 fat free hotdogs for only 1.5pts and I get turkey sticks at costco that are only 1pt each.  But mostly I focus on eating filling foods.  How much are you eating a day?  What makes you think you need more?

    Hi!

    I try to eat about 4 oz a day.  That's usually about 4-6 points, depending on the kind of protein I'm eating. 

    I had my leader review my tracker because I was getting really really hungry during the day (this was back when I was doing WW hard core) and I couldn't figure out why.  She said "you need more protein" and didn't give me any idea how much was "more".

    Hi there,

    I'm actually a WW leader, too.  On the new Momentum plan, we say 1-2 serving of lean protein a day, each serving should be about 3 ounces.  However, if you're focusing on the Filling Foods (which will really help with your satisfaction), you may eat more.  I especially (before I was pregnant anyway) loved to use SetPOINTS for my protein so I didn't worry so much about portion size and just ate to satisfaction...really great for higher point foods like salmon and lean steak.

    Hope that helps!

    No, not really.  If you have the patience for it, try tracking your food on DailyPlate.com or a similiar site for a week or so.  It breaks down how much carbs, protein and fat you eat every day.  I found out I eat way more protein than I ever thought I did.

    Sparkpeople.com is also a good website for that too.
