This is the weirdest breakdown I've ever seen.
If you are at all concerned about lean muscle mass, and you should be if you want to be even the slighest bit athletic, then the minimum amount of protien you'd want is a half gram per pound of body weight.
Most people who work out or play sports try for closer to a 1 to 1 ratio.
This diet is severly messed up.
- Shorel 16y agoYes, but the blogger is right: that's the accepted medical and dietarian wisdom, and it is backed by government programs like the one from Michelle Obama. No wonder why so many people has weight issues.
