I try for 2g per lb so it'd be 450g. If 46g is alright for the protein content of the shake, what about carbs? How many grams of carbs should I have in it (I'm talking about oats as dex is out of the question due to me being diabetic)

if bulking carbs should be 2 times the amount of protein so 46g protein means 92g carb and don't forget to throw in around 10g of fat or a lil more

450g of protein per day? thats too much IMO, i wuldnt think your body would be absorbing all of that.
How many meals are you taking in per day?"A good thread is like a miniskirt. Short enough to keep you interested, and long enough to cover the entire subject"

450g is perfect ... tell Coleman that 450g+ of protein isn't being "used".Originally Posted by martydaman
I'd go for 3 scoops PWO honestly. Around 100g of dextrose aswell.Admin @ Iron Mass [dot] com

Most use .25g protien and .5g carbs per lb of bw for a good start point. For you thats 56g protien and 112g carbs in your post-wo shake.
