Title: Re: Carbs And Protein
As far as protein goes, I have always heard you should try to consume 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight. So for you, 130 grams. I weigh 210 and I had tried to consume that much protein, and it is just too much for me. I drink a protein shake every day after I work out, but getting near 200 grams is crazy.
One other thing you may want to look into; I have heard that too much protein can be bad for your kidneys over an extended period of time. I would just be sure to drink plenty of water, and maybe once in a while drink some cranberry juice as a cleansing agent.
