The percentage of your total protein intake served at breakfast should be 32.07%.

Explanation:

Protein breakdown for each meal

Breakfast: 17 g

Lunch: 20 g

Dinner: 16 g

So, the required amount of protein is the sum of proteins of each meal.

Total Protein = 17 + 20 + 16

Total Protein = 53 g

To calculate percentage of protein during breakfast, we have to divide it by the total amount of protein and multiply by hundred.

% of protein at breakfast = (protein at break fast/total protein) x 100

% of protein at breakfast = (17/53) x 100

% of protein at breakfast = 32.07%

Therefore, the percentage of your total protein intake served at breakfast should be 32.07%.
