    This would depend on your diet and desired macros.

    what most guys do is a 2:1 ratio as stated above. so if you can afford to do that with your entire diet. i suppose 100g would be what to shoot for.

    The ratio is only a guideline. Your desired macros will dictate how many carbs for your PWO. But I always keep protein around .25g per lb of LBM for PWO regardless.
