It probably doesn't matter too much, but personally if I had to add a few more calories I'd add protein. Are you getting 1g of protein per 1 lb. of bodyweight?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Andy, that just confuses me. I don't know anything about that grams versus bodyweight. Can you clue me in? > > Oh one more question ~ now I am looking for something else to eat > > since I'm still hungry and need 131 more calories.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Take your weight in lbs either lean body weight or total body weight usually works too and make sure you get 1 gram of protein for each lb that you weigh. You will see in food nutrition information, how many grams of protein are in a serving. I agree it is kind of strange to be comparing gms to lbs, but for some strange reason we measure protein with metrics and our own weight in lbs in the USA.

Does this sound reasonable? AndyD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 I have been trying to figure out thisGlycemic index stuff having to do with how food affects your blood sugar.Banana's are now a no-no to me. An apple would be better acourding to this article in Muscle Media. Anybody else trying or has figured this out!!! Acording to this a snickers bar rated higher than a banana???
