Below is an excerpt from Part Two of

The 2004 Multi-Diet

by Anderson A. Anonymous, M.D., Ph.D.


 

Table 16: Your Protein Food Requirement
Food Your protein need in grams
(from Table 14)
Amount of protein per oz in this food No. of ounces of this food you need.
Shrimp _____ g ÷  5.9 =  _____ oz
Lobster (Northern) _____ g ÷  5.8 =  _____ oz
Crab (Alaska King) _____ g ÷  5.5 =  _____ oz
Scallop _____ g ÷  4.8 =  _____ oz
Tuna (canned) _____ g ÷  6.7 =  _____ oz
Chicken (boneless) _____ g ÷  7.8 =  _____ oz
Cottage Cheese (2%) _____ g ÷  3.9 =  _____ oz
Beef (xtra lean) _____ g ÷  8.5 =  _____ oz
Salmon (canned) _____ g ÷  5.6 =  _____ oz
Milk (non-fat) _____ g ÷  8.4 =  _____ cups
Egg (1 jumbo) _____ g ÷  8.1 =  _____ eggs
Ham (canned) _____ g ÷  4.6 =  _____ oz
Notes:  Weight of food is after cooking.  Foods higher in the table have more protein per Calorie than those lower down.  1 oz. = 28 grams.  (Data is from the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.) 

The amounts of the protein foods you calculate above are likely to be in the range of 12-16 oz per day.  We know that this may seem high to you. But remember that these amounts are for the whole day.

As a reasonable comparison, please consider that many people routinely eat two eggs (5 oz) for breakfast, a 6-oz hamburger for lunch, and a smallish (8-oz) piece of fish for dinner. This equals 19 oz of high protein food. That easily puts them into the same range for total amounts of protein food that you are likely to have calculated above.
