I was diagnosed in April with pmr. I am on 15mg of prednisone daily. My appetite is way too good. I’ve decided to diet but need to determine how many oz of protein I need in a day.

@elainepoc Same here... I need to cut calories I guess because I was way more active and went to Pilates and the gym before this started. Experts disagree on how much protein but I think about 1 gram per pound of body weight. So if you weigh 140 lbs, then 140 grams of protein. Thats on the high end and if you do resistance training....try 120 grams maybe
