Heh, OWNED!

No kidding 70g of protein. You are going to store it as fat at that rate.

ok lets all turn off the serious button boys and girls.

If I meant it I would have said something like, Hey Iandaniel I'm sick of your opinion stay out my thread you annoy me. I was just kidding around, cause he always bust my balls in my diet threads but its actually been helpful, so its all good.

One thing you can always count on from me is honesty, life is too short to beat around the bush. I say whats on my mind.

Jodi- I typically have 50g of protein per meal in order to hit my daily requirment. This I just stumbled onto and it tasted good so I dug it. Can 20g of protein make that big a difference. I still dig it, so I'll just cut out some of the protein or better yet split into two meals as a side or something.

I know you are playing around. But you need to realize the importance of the meals you prepare.

That was my only point.

Not to mention about 70g of protein here and 10g of fat.

Tuna + Cottage Cheese?

I love tuna, and I can tolerate cottage cheese...but together? You are a daring person!

Nobody needs more than 40g of protein per meal. Have you ever heard of gluconeogenesis? Basically it's the process of protein turning to glucose. If you are eating too much protein, you might as well be eating carbs because thats what happens to the extra protein.

I've actually gotten a lot better at calorie intake and incorporating veggies and fruits into my meal with a good protein source. I'm just slowly increasing my calorie intake. I don't want ot jump from 2000kcal to 300kcal in a weeks time.

The tale of the tape for my above mentioned snack is as follows:
397kcal
5g fat
8g carb
73g protein


completely unbalanced and such, but man its good. Perhaps saw this in half and bring in a cup of brocolli for the win.

In fact I haven't Jodi. I was under the idea that whatever your body didn't use protein wise it got rid of. Ok laugh I know I know.

I'm 240lb 6' BF north of 20%, what do you think my carb intake should be per meal. I eat six times.

I had been told to try and take in 1-1.2g of protein per pound of body weight. So for me thats 40g per meal at minimum.

Hm, protein intake should be balanced on lean body mass at that bf I think.

I think 1.2 g per pound of lbm will do.

Your not the first to say this. Now I need to find out what my LBM is.

Total weight x 0.8

If that is correct, I'm carrying around 48lbs of fat and 192lb of LBM at 240lb total body weight.

1G protein per pound of bodyweight. Anything else is a waste.

Ok so you are saying per pound of body weight not per pound of lean body mass? Just want to confirm here as I have been told both.

Ya know it almost merits a poll.

You said you're at 20% bodyfat, so the other 80% must be lean body mass.

north of 20% is my guess, I have calipers in route.

If you want to do per pound of LBM then it's 1.5G. I just do it simply by 1G per pound of bodyweight.

That works for me and probably easier to keep track of good idea jodi.

So is 30g of carbs and 10g of fat per meal a decent goal for weight loss, or would you change something with that.

Just to preface I have read ALL of the stickies.,

How many meals a day with 30G carbs?

What kind of meal can you eat that has only 30G of carbs, beside a 4 .oz of chicken brest and a 12 oz of salad?

Salad is fibrous veggies. They don't really count.

4 oz. Chicken with 2/3 C. Mashed Sweet Potatoes = 30G P and 30G C.

Jodi you need to make a cook book, you have great info when it comes to meals.
