Reply With QuoteGenerally speaking, 1 to 1.5g of complete protein per pound body weight depending on your goals, overall calorie intake, body composition and body type.Originally Posted by DAcre
So for you that is ~ 190 to 280g per day. Just spread this evenly between all your meals - so if you eat 6 meals/day that is ~ 30 to 47g per meal (I'd probably aim for a happy medium of about 40-45g per meal).
ps: A good diet is not all about protein!

Carbs is where its at heh...if you notice the difference between someones bulking and cutting diet is they drop one and add some of the other. During a cut they drop the carbs and add more protein, during a bulk they drop some protein and add alot more carbs. Originally Posted by DAcre
