How do you compute 30%? If I'm supposed to eat 2000-2500 calories, how many

grams of protein is ideal for me? My ND says i should be getting 80 grams,

60 when i'm done nursing. My Garden of Eating book says between 112 and 147

grams of protein.

Thank you so much . I really needed the simple math spelled out for me.

I am a little shocked my ND is recommending half that!
