General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Ideal weight is height in cm minus 100 plus or minus 5 in Kg. Normal protein needed for body is 1g per Kg. So If you have 59 Kg you need around 60g protein per day. Taking 100 grams is ok also. But if you exercise you can take little more. If you are simply taking excess protein then it will just increase the work load of your kidney only. You can take supplements like b protein powder or several whey protein you get in markets. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
