Many thanks buddy.

Yes I include everything complete and incomplete, altho now because I have such a good grip on things I do it automatically. It should really
all be used to work out your daily total.
I get a lot of diets from people that on face value look like they have the right protein but when you dig deeper they are having far too much for their bodyweight.
Off season I work on around 1.5g per lb bodyweight but a little more pre contest, around 1.75g per lb. Remember too that natural athletes and assisted athletes will need different amounts even though their bodyweights maybe similar.
