Babu Rao Grau.i understand your concern.in my opinion your are doing good exercise daily to built up your muscle.kindly make sure that kidney is ok before taking good amount op protein.check serum creatin urea,GFR,and urine micro albumin if every thing is fine you can consider taking 1.4 to 1.8 gms of protein per day.it will come to 100-110 gms per day.in other terms one egg white will give 6gms of protein. 100 gms dal contain 2.6 g protein. 100gms chicken contain 25 g protein. usually people with diabetes having poor renal function we will advise protein restriction to 0.8 g/ kg body wt/ day hope you find this information useful namaste ...
