View Full Version : How much protein? jlforbess Mon, May 2nd, 2005, 08:44 PM Hey!! How do you figure up the grams of protein needed in a diet? Thanks! goddezz Tue, May 3rd, 2005, 12:04 AM Some people would say a gram per pound of body weight. A lot of people will go with a ratio of 40% protein, 40% carbs & 20% fat. Really, its up to you :nod: Boxer-in-training Tue, May 3rd, 2005, 03:32 AM Great advice, it really is up to you. I have done the 40/40/20. Now I am doing the 30/60/10 (p,c,f) and have done well. I just needed slightly more carbs for what I am doing. I think the gram per lb. is a good idea also. Good luck! don_1987 Tue, May 3rd, 2005, 05:39 AM Some may say that a gram per pound is too much. You can also try a gram per kilogram :tu: jlforbess Wed, May 4th, 2005, 12:22 AM Yikes! Looks like i'm not getting enough AT ALL!! I guess that could be the reason I'm not seeing much muscle growth? Thanks ya'll!!! :tucool: |
