How many grams of protein for weight loss?

For my teenage daughter who is trying to lose weight healthily, her doctor recommended around 60-70 grams of protein daily. We ensure she gets it from eggs, curd, and dal rather than packed protein bars.

I tried eating too many protein powders but it caused severe acidity. Switched back to traditional roasted chana and home-made paneer, aiming for about 65 grams daily. Traditional food works best if you give it time.

An intake of 0.8g to 1.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight is standard for weight loss. However, individuals with any underlying kidney issues must be very careful with protein. Consulting a clinical nutritionist is recommended.

While looking up research papers, I found that a standard recommendation is about 0.8 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight for moderate weight loss. It seems like a very practical range to follow.

If you are walking 10k steps a day and doing basic bodyweight workouts, aim for 1.2g of protein per kg of body weight. It prevents muscle loss. Just make sure to get a green light from your doctor first.
