On Protein - from Sandy

From Sandy VanStratt on the topic of protein:
According to the Food and Drug Administation guidelines, RDA for protein fits in the following formula:
You need .8 grams of protein per 2.2 pounds of your "ideal weight".
Just thought that you might be interested in one of my favorite websites, www.healthatoz.com . On that site, you can find your BMI (body mass index), and take a test to help determine your physical fitness. Additionally, this site gives you a nice analysis of your personal wellbeing based on the answers to questions given. I just love it and find it very, very easy to use.
You asked where I get my protein...well, I try the best I can to get it from eating good foods. Tuna, black beans, almonds...just to name a few. I'm not one to drink protein shakes. I like to eat toooo much!
