Adequate protein intake is crucial for those with Hashimoto’s, for several reasons. First, many of the essential and non-essential amino acids are required for thyroid function, gut repair, and immune function.

Second, not getting enough protein can lead blood sugar imbalances a common root cause and symptom of Hashimoto’s. Combining carbohydrates with protein can slow down the glycemic impact of the carbohydrates you consume.

The Right Amount of Protein
So how much protein should you eat? It depends.
- For general health purposes, you should be consuming about 0.45-0.55 grams of protein per day, for each pound that you weigh. (The official calculation is done by kilograms of body weight: 1.0-1.2 grams of protein per kilogram.) This translates to roughly 50 grams of protein per day, for a person who weighs 50kgs
- Higher protein intake (0.55-0.68 grams per pound of body weight, per day) is recommended for most older adults who have acute or chronic diseases. In this case, a person who weighs 100 pounds should aim for 54-68 grams of protein per day.
- Generally, the more active you are, the more protein you need. Bodybuilders need even more protein — as much as 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight — so a 50kg person would want to aim for 100 grams of protein each day!
- Older people with severe kidney disease (who are not on dialysis) are an exception to this rule — these individuals may need to limit their protein intake, as their kidneys may not be able to properly process the protein.
