Hi !
Thank you for your query.
I think you need an expert dietician to calculate your BMI and then prescribe the diet for you. Every body has individual requirement according to his weight and basal metabolic rate . one diet cannot be followed by everybody . Protein hels you build body muscles but excess can be harmful .
So, get yourself a diet chart according to your reqiurements .
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
