I would recommend 1.0 to 1.5 g from a good lean source of protein per lb of lean body mass as well as a complex carboyhydrate with each meal along with a plenty of fruits and vegetables.

There's no way she might be able to incorporate 5-6 meals in a day? I guess I always have trouble believing there's no time during the workday to sneak at least a little something.

Ok,Im thinking in her case since she realy doesnt need much it would be best to keep her off of powder.So she can get her protein from white meats.As far as complex carbs.,is that like potatos,otameal,and stuff like that?What kind of foods contain complex carbs and how much should she consume in a day?

She should really try and figure out (according to her own individual goals, metabolism, lbm, as well as body fat %) her protein and fat intake and adjust the remainder of her calories for carbohydrate, those lower GI/GL complex sources she might include would be rolled oats, beans, lentils, brown rice, barley. No potatoes.

Ok I can talk to her about al of it today when she gets online.A few more questions.Is there a rough idea on what she shouls consume for her goal as far as colories and such?Is there a set amount of carbs and fat like how many grams/lbm?After I have numbers from here and her I will be drawing up a diet for her then I will post it back here for approval

Thanx alot for everything.
