Is it true that you want to consume an equal number of grams of protein per lbs of body weight?
Hello Lauren,
For the average person I think that figure is high. A simple figure I use, divide body weight in half to equal protein grams, then divide by 5 or 6 meals per day for a more active individual who exercises five days out of seven.
I consumed a 1/1 ratio while prepairing for BB Contests, which included a double split work out routine and cardio five to six days per week. Then returned to the formula above.
Sincerely,
Michael
