Protein from mainly carb foods. Count it?

[gbrice75]

Well, let's just assume you're not actually getting in as many grams of complete proteins if you count this way. However, I am a firm believer in the fact that most bodybuilders (especially those who are natural) eat more protein than really required to build muscle. That's a different debate though, and now you know how to count properly. =)

I agree 100%! I always snicker when I see 160lb guys listing their daily macros and it's something like:

450g protein
250g carbs
60g fat

And they wonder why they're not growing. All that protein... such a waste of calories that would be better utilized coming by way of carbs and possibly a bit more fat.
