Protein recommendations for adult prader willi

[Guest guest]

good afternoon,

I saw a 30yo woman w/ Prader Willi today. Her mother was concerned about how

much protein she needs. One provider had told her 9g/day! Of course, this

could have been misunderstanding but I could not find any information that said

people w/ PW needed to restrict protein. I read that it is important to

restrict fat so lean protein sources would be better. But any additional

information would be great!
