How much protein per meal for weight loss?

My nutritionist suggested distributing my protein intake throughout the day for better absorption and satiety when trying to lose weight. How much protein is ideal per meal for weight loss?

Beta, don't try to cram too much heavy food into one single meal. Just have a small cup of curd with lunch and a simple lentil soup in the evening. This keeps your digestion light and helps you lose weight naturally.

Honestly, aiming for about 20-25g of protein per meal is the easiest way to do it. I just eat 3 eggs for breakfast and a block of amul paneer with dinner to hit my daily goals easily.

Having about 20 grams of clean, plant-based protein like moong sprouts or dal per meal is very soothing for the body. Combine this simple diet with daily Kapalbhati pranayama to naturally boost your metabolism.

The human body can absorb around 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal efficiently. Spreading your protein across three main meals is much better for your digestion and muscle preservation than eating it all at once.

My son was trying to lose weight, so I started making sure he got about 25g of protein in every meal. I gave him Besan chilla for breakfast and paneer or chicken for dinner, which stopped his late-night hunger completely.
