Eight ounces of protein daily are enough in a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables and grains, our expert saysIt’s summer, the season when protein-rich burgers and steaks are sizzling on outdoor grills. That got us wondering: How much protein should an adult consume every day? Most dietitians consider these nutrients a building block of a healthy diet. Proteins, which are long chains of amino acids, are the basic components of tissue found in all human muscles and internal organs.
Janelle Walter, a professor of family and consumer sciences at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, served up some advice on protein sources, portion sizes,...
I’ll decide how much protein is the right amount to eat in a day.
Umm, a gram of carbohydrates and a gram of protein have the same amount of calories, not a gram of carbohydrates and a gram of meat

Mind if I use Shaq’s palm ?
Sooo how many grams would that be? GMO meat, What's non-GMO meat?
Nope... skip all carbs except what naturally is delivered in a Bud Heavy, and eat four (4) pounds of red meat per day, every god damn day. With a few cashews for good measure. And a Centrum Silver as a chaser. Repeat! MAGA
most Americans eat about 10 of those
Tell that to the silly vegans
* IN MICE
What a very specific and weird way to put it. But okay guess we'll start eating adult hands.
Shid I just ate two Turkey sandwiches wit some short bread cookies I'm good cant have too much red meat but I do miss them healthy size burgers tho nuttin like it
Stop equating “meat” and “protein.” The animals you kill for their flesh get their protein from.... PLANTS. 🌱GoVegan
8 ounces which equals 230g of protein DAILY!!! not even bodybuilders eat these portions... better already look out for a Kidney donor as they won't make it long with this advise
Should we scale our proteins before eating 🤔🤔
However fucking much you want.
Or two average adult palms.
STOP EATING RED MEAT! Eat cockroach milk and bugs!
WSJ, I’m surprised at you. Not one quote from a plant-based physician/expert. Looks like the meat industry got the slant they wanted.
Yeah, better to add more doughnuts and Froot Loops. Dumb
What...wat...did the wsj become a dieting website? Am I new here?
The picture makes me want bbq. It's 8am..
No one cares about stories like this. I will eat what i want to eat.
I like them the size of a human torso!
Two meat patties the size if my palm and six inches tall? Okay!
Finally, some real news we can all agree on. 🤣❤😂
You should be 90% vegan for the best energy.
This message bought to you by the Beef Council and your local cardiologist.
which adult are you using, what is average?
9
If I am the one paying for my food I will eat as much as I want of any food that I want
3-6 oz, per serving, depending on your height/weight. How hard is it to weigh your fucking food?
Now all I can picture is your sweaty palms on my food.
So I've been feeding nine? 😆😬😶
It’s like telling people how much toilet paper needed every time they poop
Now you're pushing this false tripe? What's your angle?
'Eight ounces of protein daily are enough..' There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, your future balanced diet, regulated by your friendly federal medicare-for-all healthcare system says you only need 8oz of protein a day. Hmm, do you think veggie meat counts?
Big FUD against $BYNDQ.
How thick?
Calcium oxalate 'kidney' stones are more common than the uric acid type. Meat and most high-protein foods have high concentrations of purines which leads to a higher production of uric acid. A larger acid load for kidneys to excrete through urine makes it easy for stones to form.
Thx for summarizing so I don’t have to click and scramble through your BS subscription nonsense
Thanks mum..
That is my kind of diet; one patty for lunch and th other for dinner!
But are they the right type of protein? 🌱🌱🌱
If you want to look like Waldo
Ok thanks WSJ lol
Or you can get your protein from non meat sources, including all the essential amino acids.
One gram of protein for each pound of body weight, if you’re active and like the gym.
It varies for each person because of how much they weigh. Good job wsj 🤦🏾♂️
The correct answer is as much as I want. Thank you very little.
Don't tell me how to live my life
Stick to what you know.
Uh, how thick?
Shut up
*Per meal
Didn’t realize you were nutritionists🧐
So a double-double?

Maybe is hand?
Average adult's hand? Say 8 oz. Are we on the tundra cooking our hunt? That isn't a little. Most fast-food burgers are 4 oz. Also depends if you are doing resistance training and how much.
Whatevs...
I hope someone sends this message or Tweet I made about Kevin Spacey being accused of what I said?
