Lets do the math on myself for protein requirement. Strength athletes: 1.7-1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass per day (or 0.77-0.82 grams of protein per pound of body mass per day)
I weigh 207 pounds. 207x.77=159.39 or lets say 160 grams of protein. 207x.82=169.74 or lets say 170 grams of protein. So lets average it out and we will say 165 grams of protein a day according to Dr. Lemon. Now lets divide that between 5 meals a day. 165/5=33 grams each meal. Seems light dosn't it? But some say 35 grams is about all you can digest at one sitting. Dr. Lemon does say if you take in to much protein it will store as fat. The zone diet has me eating 45 grams of carbs, 35 grams of protein and 7 grams of fat at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with 2 snack meals in between. Kinda close huh! Snipped the above article from here.
