Hi guys,
Thanks to all for your participation to this forum, it is always a tremendously nice experience to read everyone's posts!
I am planning to try the Dr. Bernstein diet - which advocates high protein, moderate fat, low carb, but my issue with diets is always to get enough calories as I am very active, very slim and I tend to loose weight no matter what diet I do. I'm eating now a total of about 2200 kcals/day and my weight is 70 kgs (155lbs). Knowing that 1g of fat is about 9 kcal, 1g of protein 4 kcal and 1g of carb 4 kcal, how much of each should I eat each day? It seems that if I focus on proteins I would be eating like 200 grams a day or something like that, and it looks like it is too much to maintain a healthy body on a long term, no? Some of you guys follow Dr. Bernstein's diet are are in my situation (not trying to loose/control weight)?
Thanks a lot!
