Chunky philosophy :
1.6 g of prot / kg of bodyweight
max 2g of prot /kg

Bodybuilding.com philosophy :

Ok thanks i weigh 110 so 165G of protine. Btw how much carbohydrate? Also arent carbs basically like sugar? I will looking at the Prograin supplement, it has way more carbs per serving than protine...This this other supplement i got Met-RX, has ALOT of protien but little carb....Im thinking Met-Rx right? Also i EAT lots of chicken now....So i may eliminate the need for suppliments...What do you think?

carbs roughly 2 to 2.5 grams per pound to work your way up to

fats 20-30% of total caloric intake
