Hi all, I was wondering the same thing. I can find information on suggested PD diets but nothing specific. I really need to know how many grams of protein is is suggested per day. I heard that your evening meal shouldn’t contain anymore than 4 oz of protein but would like to know the total amount for the day. I eat a lot of dairy, eggs yet yoghurt, cheese and cottage cheese so it is important for me to know so I don’t exceed the suggested amount. Thanks so much.

While I can say that following the normal heart-healthy diet is a good plan, I can also say that it is important that if you are taking levodopa, you need to make sure that your proteins are not taken at the same time as the medications as this will cause a drop in the effectiveness of the medication.
