its better to roughly count than not count at all, as for protein, unless you are below 10% bf right now, you dontn need anything close to 200g a day.

you definitely need more fats

try this program and ask any more questions you may need to

id say 175-225g protein for you.. you need lots of fat but not really LOTS of fat.. LOL.. id say 80-90g fat a day would do for you, fats are important but excess fats come to no use.. then the rest just have as many carbs as needed (make sure its fibrous carbs. brown rice, rye bread, whole wheat crispbread, oats etc) until you come to a point where you gain a pound a week.

i always reccomend high protein and i love it.. but 400g for a 155lb guy is absolute BULL****.
either you are a) working for a supp company trying to spread this kind of misinformation for your own profits or b) you mixed up carbs with protein and meant 400g carbs..

thanks alot guys. much appreciated. no ****ing way i could eat 400 grams of protein a day. My guts couldnt take it. as for the one pound a week thing if i gain more then this should i be worried its fat gain?

Reread the frigging statement, he said the carbs he should be eating is "double ur protein intake". For example, if the dude is eating 160g @ 155lbs, his carbs should be (theoretically) around 300g.

[MattUK123]

so for example if iwas on a bulk, im 190 lbs now ideal cut weight is 184-180 so when i come to bulk ill should eat about 360 wholegrain carbs.. ie listed.. and as for protien around 300 protien. Its important you space them all out otherwide all nutrients will be wasted..

190-200g of protein is fine, 300g is not really needed.. although you can have that much if you want.. I'd reduce it to 200-230 and increase the fat instead (almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, almond butter, peanut butter, olive oil, etc)

youre right.

now read this closely

i didnt read the "to", so i read it as "i would say double your protein intake, 400g min"

i also mentioned he might of meant 400g carbs too.

Cool, that was rather misleading, how he put it. He could've put something like, "your carbs should be twice as much as your protein intake".
