Answer to Question 2

To ensure that you get adequate amounts of protein, include protein foods with every meal and snack. If you are not getting enough protein, you may need to make an effort to include protein foods every day, such as a glass of milk, a teaspoon or two of peanut butter, a slice or two of cheese, a handful of nuts. Those who eat a primarily vegetarian diet need to be especially careful to get enough protein to fulfill their requirements. To calculate the requirements, multiply 0.36 grams by your weight. For example, if you weigh 120 lbs, your RDA would be 43.2 grams.
