Listen to today’s extremely important and timely newscast on protein.

As mentioned:

Best starting macronutrient split for most trainees:
40% Carbs
35% Protein
25% Fat

Daily protein requirement calculation:
Current Bodyweight x .8 = minimum daily grams of protein required

Example - 200lbs x .8 = 160 grams of protein minimum required for 200 pound guy.

Example 1

1/3 Protein = salmon, 1/3 Carbs = brown rice, 1/3 veggies = asparagus and salad, Fat = fat from salmon plus olive oil on salad

Example 2

1/3 Protein = shredded chicken breast topped on salad, 1/3 Carb = yam, 1/3 veggies = salad, Fat = olive oil on salad

A few of the thousands of studies and research on the extra protein requirements necessary for athletes, aging men, and anyone who wants to be great:
