How many points on protein per day?

Anyone know if there is a recommended point allocation per day for protein? (Like milk/milk products are recommended 4-6 points per day or 2 servings.)

I was asked if I could find this out. The "Getting Started" book I have doesn't specify, but I was sure somewhere the daily points allocation was broken down into recommended points for each food group.

Hi ya! In general for balanced eating or Eating by the Numbers it is as follows:

COMPLEX CARBS - 6-9 points a day
PROTEIN - 6-8 points a day
DAIRY - 4-6 points a day
FATS - 2-3 points a day
FRUITS & VEGGIES - 0-3 points a day

It varies a bit for higher carb or higher proten. It comes in Week 6 booklets.
