I take in exactly 40grams per meal

I always go by 50g per meal. I had a dietitian tell me once that the bigger you are the more your body can convert in one sitting.

[jamyjamjr]

i do 80g a meal... no prob...

your not eating enough... imo...

let's do some math

BMR (men and women) = 370 + (21.6 X lean mass in kg)


once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:


If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

yea but isnt he tryin to lose weight?

and?????

[eatrainrest]

if hes trying to lose weight than protein should definately be the same if not higher!

[collar]

if your trying lose weight, it dont mean you reduce your protein intake also
Protein helps muscles, replenish,recover and grow, so why would you reduce that???

[madmancman]

it was my understanding that my body (the lean mass ) could on use so much in one sitting i just wanted a ruff idea on how much this would be. if anyone had a way to work it out let me now ill do the calcs and get bk to yous
