[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1433455, member: 41816"] The protein thing can be pretty confusing. Don't know whether people are losing/gaining weight? Or wanting to? But the idea is that you eat the right amount of protein for your ideal lean body weight. So if you are 20 stone wanting to reduce to 10 stone, you eat enough protein for a 10 stone person. And if you are 10 stone wanting to increase to 15, then you eat protein for a 15 stone person. Plus, you need to base your calculations on the amount of protein in the food, rather than the weight of the food. So don't think, aha! An egg weighs 50g, so that is 50g of protein. You need to remember that there is only about 7g of protein in an egg. The rest is water and fat and all the other stuff that goes to build a baby chicken. [/QUOTE]
