Healthy diet: If you have bronchiectasis, it helps to have an overall very healthy diet, with ample protein from healthy sources - low in saturated fats (including chicken, fish, legumes). Equally important is a balance of nutrients and vitamins from fresh vegetables.

Question 2

what is the daily protein requirements for a 55kg (21 years old boy) starting gym.does drinking a milkshake consisting of 3 eggs daily good or bad.

Accepted Answer

At least 2.2 gm/kg: Or one gram per day per pound of body weight. This is time-honored and seems to work. This is a more than is required for a man who does not exercise or want to gain muscle mass. You're free to take more but it will not cause you to get big any faster. There's nothing magic about eggs; get the protein in whatever form you like, trying to avoid grease & empty calories.

Question 3

have any studies determined an upper limit for daily protein intake, assuming you have no underlying conditions? if you ate more than this estimated limit, but still met your nutritional requirements / energy intake were balanced, what might happen?

Accepted Answer

: The Atkins diet is a diet with very high protein which can be doubled the recommended protein intake. This diet is used for weight loss and fighting diabetes mellitus. However, it is not easy to follow for a long time because your will crave for sweetened foods. If you do not have liver or kidney disease, high protein diet, especially with vegetarian protein, is safe.

Accepted Answer

A tiny: human being your son's age really needs professional help with Nutrition issues. I would not use the supplement you describe due to the ALLERGENIC components ( EGG....PEANUT BUTTER)
Check with your PEDIATRICIAN who can refer you to a NUTRITIONIST to assist you with your child's problem

Good luck and I hope this helps!
