football diet vs. Cutting diet
I have football training 5 days a week and i had a question about protein intake. Ive been getting 1.5-2g of protein per lb of body mass. So roughly 260-300 grams of protein a day. Ive been told this is way too much. With this diet (pretty much based off the cutting sticky) Ive put on a few lbs of LBM and loss tons of body fat. Im very carb sensitive and recently my trainer (who isnt a dietician) told me i wasnt getting enough carbs. He said i should be getting 1.4-1.7grams of protein per Kilogram of my body weight. So that would put me at about 150grams of protein max. From waht i read on the forums, if i only had 150 grams of protein i would definalty burn a ton of muscle. He said i shuold have 4-1 ratio of carbs to protein through out the day. I weight 190 lbs by the way. Who do you guys think is right? I know if i have 4-1 carb ratio, it will make me hungry for other carbs and ill tend to cheat more then 1-2 times a week. My goals are pretty much to maintain my 190 lbs and cut some excess bodyfat off. Im about 9-10% bf now
