How can I keep a track of daily protein intake?

Protein

Watch the size of your protein portion. Most women need a daily intake of only about 6 ounces (cooked) of meat, chicken, fish, or a substitute like cheese or eggs. Excess protein can mean extra fat, and high amounts of protein may increase calcium losses in the urine.
