Hi All

I'm trying to determine if I am having enough protein every day, and I used to have a website in my favorites (before my computer crashed) that had a list of most foods and their protein content in grams - can someone out there help me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Folks

I just went to this website and it is NOT the REAL government USDA website:eek: - it is a "joke" of some sort, making fun of the actual website, and seems to be totally based on the real USDA website - right down to the logos and layout - my tipoff was that it says it is the website of the U S Department of Agribusiness (not Agriculture, as USDA stands for). Maybe the poster accidentally did type .org instead of .gov? Either way, the .org site is some sort of political statement, NOT a health aid.

The real website is www.mypyramid.gov as recommended here by faireygod mother's YMCA

I made a mistake, in my post it was www.mypyramid.gov I just spoke to my friend as we worked out at Curves and she said she told me wrong! :eek: So, got home and went to make the change and well.... Sorry!
