[QUOTE="ally5555, post: 126028, member: 7357"] Thank you Ian for being sensible here - you and hana are not rugby players! Rugby has various needs - most rugby players are not calculating their protein requirements and taking excessive amounts. The dear old protein shakes! Requirements vary between backs and forwards as their size and bulk is different. I have alot of experience with Rugby by the way! As a rule I generally use around 1.4-1.7gprotein/kg but it is def not low carb either. Players need carbs but the timing is the key - based on training and playing. I have lost track of those who have experimented with low carb and rugby and found their energy levels have decreased and recovery times dimished. Hana rugby players will not survive on 30gCHO /day. It comes and goes in rugby - and I have 2 living at home with me ( kids) as well!! TBH my advice would be to find a sports dietitian near you and get some proper advice - I am one but cannot give you anything other than general advice. Runsweet.com is also a useful source of information! If you cannot find one pm me as I have alot of contacts all over the UK. allyx [/QUOTE]
