Only 15 grams? That's the lowest number I've ever heard quoted. I don't mean to argue with your nutritionist but that is pretty hard to believe. I mean a 4 oz hamburger has more protein than that! I've talked to several nutritionists and a physician that specializes in nutrition and they all have told me that the 30 gram number we hear floating around has no scientific backing and it simply isn't true. I've heard this from several medical sources along with doing my own investigating on-line. I'm a nurse and a bariatric support group leader so I try really hard to check things out when I hear them and this 15g limit or 30 g limit really isn't something that has been found to be true.
