  • Okay, I found a reference here to how much protein is a bad amount: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=120724721&page=1 I don't know how valid it is and I would love it if someone more knowledge could confirm or deny it. It says 1-1.5grams per # body weight. I think I read somewhere else that its by lean body…
  • Thanks everyone! This is really helpful.
