Thread: How many carbs do i need?

alot of carbs and calories is the way

i understand i need alot of carbs, what i am asking is for my weight what would be the minimal amount need considering i don't do any cardio, i don't have the appetite i once had and would just like a base number

You need to eat more, small meals each day. Start out eating every 3 hours. You need to get about 300g of carbs if you want to get some results. You need to aim for your 170g of protein, at least. Eat bigger to get bigger. If you are lifting hard, you don't need the cardio to keep yourself from getting fat. If you are eating every 3 hours at least, your metabolism will stay high throughout the day, as well.

I weigh 170lbs and i already have a hard enough time consuming the 170 grams of protien each day with out getting to full.(only if i still smoked pot, eating wouldn't be a problem) Also i don't do any cardio so hopefully this will help to keep the amount needed down.

I take the following supplements

Multi's
ON Whey
Glutamine pre and post wo
Creatine pre and post wo
Dextrose-post workout

My post work out shake consists of
2 scoops on whey
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 banana
2 tbs peanut butter
1/2 cup oats

Avoid the fat in your pwo shake, it slows the absorbtion of protein and carb replenishment
