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

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.

That was my only point.

I think 1.2 g per pound of lbm will do.

Ya know it almost merits a poll.

Hi Jodi,

I'm curious - what is the source of that number? Why 40g instead of 30g or 80g? Does it matter what kind of protein you are consuming? There's a pretty big difference between the usability of egg proteins and legumes, for example.

Thanks for any insight you can share,
