You don't need to eat more protein unless you plan on being the next Olympia champion. Most people can get the adequate amount of protein in their diet by eating the appropriate serving sizes of protein foods. the key is knowing what those foods are. most people know you get protein from meat, but you can also get it from fish, eggs, cheese, milk, peanut butter (and most nuts for that matter), tofu, dreid beans and peas, some soy products, and even some vegetables.. when when you eat chicken, for example, a 3 oz breast has about 26 grams of protein! now things like milk and cheese (which have about 7-8 grams) aren't going to give as much as say chicken or fish, but they are other alternatives. just read your food label and be sure to watch your portion sizes. hope that helps!
