I have two questions in particular I have not found good answers to.
All the info says: You need .8-2 grams of protein/ lb. of bodyweight.
That would be 160-400 grams for a lean 200 lb. man.
THAT IS QUITE A RANGE. What is a good anwer, narrowing the range quite a bit?
Also, I assume we're talking our LEAN body mass as opposed to our obese
mass. What would my lean mass be?
I used the calculators you have on your site & I came up with 331 as a lean body mass & 133 on a bodyfat factor. At 331, I am still quite chunky.
That was roughly my Sr. year in high school weight. I think around 260-270 would be goog for myself with about 10-12% bodyfat.
I'm 464 now w/ a 66" waist. Maybe I did something wrong>
