Diet

[NitrogenY3K]

Ive just put together a new diet for training, and approximetly i wil get 100grams of carbs and 210 grams of protein. Now i weigh 240lbs, and i would like to add some muslce mass and loose a bit of weight.

Is this the right protein/Carb ratio? or do i need more/less?

how much fat do you think you have to lose?

 

[NitrogenY3K]

Quite a bit, stone maybe

 

[Arnold]

pounds please?

 

[NitrogenY3K]

Sorry 14-20lbs

You need at least 1-1.5g protein per pound of BW.
To cut, 10-12 calories per pound is usually recommened.

Figure your protein and how many carbs you want and make the remining cals come from good fats.

Would 240grams of carbs per day be a good target to aim for?

you really should choose to either lose fat or gain muscle, it's difficult not only to do, but to focus on both.

Unless your new to BB.

true, but in that case you really do not have much focus anyway.

Also when are the best times to take my protein supp on a non gym day.

On the non gym days I will be doing some cardio, so should i take it after cardio, and then before i go to bed?
