Thank God someone's asked instead of blindly following the newest fad diet in the media!\n\nAn adult human being should get between 2000 and 2500 calories per day, with females sticking closer to the low side of this range and males sticking closer to the high side of it, and the food they eat should break down this way:\n\nFats-- A female should consume no more than 60 grams of fat per day, a male no more than 65.\n\nProtein-- This one can get a bit complex to figure out since the actual formula is to take your body weight in kilograms, multiply by 0.8, and convert that number into grams in order to determine how much protein you need to consume a day, then figure out how many grams of protein are in the food you eat... but since there are seven grams in each ounce of meat you eat no matter which meat it really is, and there are 28 grams to an ounce, I'm going to simplify the math.\n\nMultiply your optimum body weight (in other words, how much you should weigh it you're not overweight), by 1.45 to find out how many grams of meat you should eat.  Divide by 28 to convert into ounces.\n\nFor instance, considering my body weight should be 180 pounds, I would multiply that by 1.45, and get 261 grams.  If I divide by 28, I end up with 9.3 ounces of meat per day, which is absolutely right for someone my size.\n\nNot only do I not need any more protein than that, my body really can't use any more than that (and that holds true for everyone else, as well).\n\nGenerally speaking, if you consume between eight and twelve ounces of meat per day, though, you've got all the protein your body is ever going to use... and make sure to break that into smaller portions, because your body can't really absorb more than 20 or so grams of protein at any time.  It's very hard to digest and use... and no, contrary to the opinion of the "lo-carb" people, protein isn't the best fuel for your body, it's the WORST.  Your body CANNOT digest and use large amounts of protein, and it cannot burn it for energy under any circumstances, which is why the lo-carb diet works.  It's tricking you into eating a lot of things your body simply can't use so you don't know you're actually slowly starving to death.\n\nCarbohydrates:  An adult human should consume a minimum of 300 grams of carbohydrates per day.  Notice, 65 grams of fat, about 60 or so grams of protein, 300 grams of carbohydrates.  That means the vast majority of what you eat should have carbohydrates in it (grains, vegetables, and fruits).  Your body needs carbohydrates to burn for energy because that's what it was designed to burn, and it needs the sugar produced by them to feed your brain (it cannot consume any other fuel whatsoever), and it needs the fiber which comes in those foods to keep both your bloodstream and your digestive system scrubbed clean and running smoothly.\n\nAgain, contrary to the "lo-carb" diet people, your body cannot, it cannot, it CANNOT convert carbohydrates to fat.  NOT EVER.  It converts a bit of it to glycogen and a bit to triglycerides stored in the liver, and that's it.  None of your carbs go to your love handles, your belly, your butt, etc.  Not a single calorie of it.\n\n\nHow does this work out calorically?\n\nWell, protein and carbohydrates both have four calories per gram.  Fat has nine.  If I sat down and multiplied out the amounts I gave you, I would discover I should get the following calorie spread:\n\nFat:  585 calories\nProtein:  261 calories\nCarbohydrates:  1200 calories.\n\nThat means I should get a total of 2046 calories, and that just over 1/4 of them should come from fat... which is exactly what a doctor would tell me I should eat.  Since I can eat up to 2500 calories a day, but that I cannot eat any more fat than I already have taken into account, I can consume a bit more protein and carbohydrates just in case I want an extra snack or something... and my dietary calories stay pe

Protein is so important. If you keep your protein within a recommended range it will do great things for you. Lets start from the top. It controls hunger, It slowes down insilin production to slow down sugar cravings and also it protects your muscle. People don't realize that muscle is where fat is absorbed. The more muscle the quicker the weight loss.

True!! If you don't eat proteins then your body won't receive things that your body needs in order to develop! Your body won't  develop and you'll have serious illness that can affect you bad! That's why I encouareg you to eat as much proteins as your body needs. Just like we buyt thing we need in order to survive, our body also needs proteins in order to continue running like a car does!

Whey protein is hands down the best. You do have to eat other stuff though. Eggs and tuna are good. Any kind of meat will work though. You need to add about 500 calories to your maintanance level too. Get your protein up to 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. If your workout is in order you can gain as much as a pound a week naturally. More if you're unnatural so to speak.

If you are working out to gain muscle mass you should consume 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, according to the trainers. \n\nIn my opinion, the trouble with a high protein diet is watching out for the cholesterol that comes with it.

Generally, you want to eat about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight if you are trying to gain muscle mass and are working out with weights regularly. Some body builders even double that amount. But if you want to just maintain the muscle you have about half that is okay. Protein is so vital to every thing that goes on in your body. Enzymes, hormones, body cells, bone, skin and muscle are all made up of the amino acids from proteins so plenty of protein is essential but balance that with an equal amount of good carbohydrates to give your body the energy it needs to do all things it does.

a healthy diet requires food. protein shakes are meant for gaining muscle mass. one once of protein per lb. of your weight are needed to gain mass, it's not meant to substitute food! liquid diets are not healthy. if its killing your appetite, try only consuming half the amount.
