Protein intake
Hi. I am 5 feet 2 inch woman weighing 67.5 kg
I am trying to lose weight, my nutritionist has asked me to take 81 gram of protein everyday.
I am a vegetarian so she has given me 40 gram whey to be taken everyday and 40 gram from diet.
Whey is nutrabox whey.
Is it a lot of protein?
Or it is fine.?
Please help.

Well if you have consulted a qualified dietician, Im sure she must have calculated your requirement and suggested you accordingly.
Next Steps
There is no such thing as lot of protein, unless you are taking all on your own, also a very important highlighter is when protein consumption is high simultaneously your fibre intake & water intake must be balanced well so you don't feel constipated & your protein is able to metabolise well & absorbed well too as muscle fibres
Health Tips
In case you are doubting your dietician you may consult another dietician with proper break-up of Macros

Healthy afternoon,
Don’t skimp on protein
In weight loss , increasing your protein intake may help.
Protein boosts metabolic rate more than fat or carbs.
Thermic effect foods ( TEF ) or an increase in metabolic that occurs due to the digestion of foods.
Eating or drinking products that are high in protein may help you lower body fat, keep lean muscles, feel full and weight loss.
Dietary protein is important sources like eggs, meat , fish, poultry, legumes, soy and milk products are add in diet .
Health Tips
Not only can protein help to lose weight, it can also help you keep it off in the long term.
Eating high protein diet can cause weight loss, even without calories counting, portion control or carbs restrictions. A modest increase in protein intake can also help to prevent weight regain.
