Per pound of bodyweight. 140 grams isn't that much really, there is 20 grams in a 100 grams of steak, I think there is 5-7 in an egg, about 25 in an average protein serving. Really, just make protein the main thing and you'll be alright.
Don't go getting all anal about it, you'll quit before you start.
Yeah, what people tell you about protein is all over the place. But, I think if you are female and you're doing a VLCD it doesn't hurt to "go over board". That's what I tell myself since I'm so 'P' and tracking things is a pain. On this VLCD I'm supposed to measure my food down to the exact gram. Jebus. I'm gonna just eat mostly salads (which I do anyways) and sashimi/raw fish. The owner of the local sushi place totally knows me because I always sit at the bar and order sashimi. I had a sashimi and soba noodle salad the other day (fusion food!) and I eat a lot of eggs. Also, spirulina. Yum.
I have lots of protein powders leftover from when I was training in the gym. I did my research and found a low carb one that supposedly is the best tasting on the market. If I use soy milk or coconut milk and a little bit of stevia, it totally tastes like a milkshake. Strangely my brother neither believes me nor wants to find out for himself.
