the exact amount of protein and fat you need depends on the number of calories you need each day which in turn is based on factors such as your height and activity level. protein should make up about 10% to 35% of your total calories a day. so in general women need about 50 grams of protein each day. that’s honestly not hard to get especially if you eat meat. protein is good for satisfying hunger so it’s safe to include a little more if that helps. a 3-ounce piece of meat has 21 grams of protein. even a cup of beans has 16 grams. and a cup of yogurt has 11 grams. fat should make up 20% to 35% of your total calories. so if you’re eating 1500 calories per day you want to eat less than about 60 grams of fat. and of course make sure it's the good fat sources that you're eating like nuts avocados and olive oil. food labels are a good way to see how many grams of protein and fat are in your food. but keep in mind the 2000-calorie diet that’s often referred to on food labels is too much for most women unless you’re very physically active.
