THis question is impossible to answer. There are just way to many variables to factor in.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

Well for one, it depends on the amount of calories.

No, more than 80 cals. You need energy, and carbs will provide you wit that energy. As long as you feel strong and energetic, keep up wat u are doing. If you feel sluggish, increase intake

For an athete? lol.Originally Posted by DD66
I played varsity basketball for three years in high school. If your practices are typical for varsity sports, I'd shoot for AT LEAST 2x your bodyweight in carbs. I weighed 150 my senior year in high school, and I was at least taking in 400 carbs a day...and I would lose weight if I didn't

Yup, for an athlete (with no diabetes) you should think about the following as MIMUMUMS (not recommended amounts)Originally Posted by Mr.Hombre
Fats: at least 50g per day. For fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K). Include some saturated fat, its a testosterone precursor.
Protein: at least 150g-200g per day, to maintain/increase muscle mass
Carbs: at least 300g per day
Also
Fruit: 1-2 pieces

What kind of athlete are you? Depending on your sport of choice, you could need anywhere between 3 and 12 grams per kilo of body weight per day. You really need to provide more information.
