Adequate Protein based on your lean body mass (not your body weight).
We recommend about 20 grams of protein at a meal. 3oz = is 20 grams. That is your palm to hand size. Can't get to a meal? A protein shake that is whey-based, is ideal.
Example: 20 grams x 5 meals is 100 grams for the day to match your lean body mass. Or 25 grams x 4 meals to target your 100 pounds of lean body mass.
Favorable Complex Carbohydrates to help fuel your workouts and provide quality nutrients.
We recommend 30 to 40 grams at 2 specific meals of the day.
- Before a workout if you can. If not, place the favorable complex carb at a meal that works for you.
- The 2nd complex carb should be eaten after a workout.
Your complex carb intake will average below 100 grams a day. These are the right carbs, at the right times in the right portion amount.
