I would use 1/4 your lean mass weight equally divided between dextrose and maltodextrin, and the full amount in protein. So, if your lean mas is 110 for instance, you wuld want 27 grams carbs approximately divided equally, 13.5 each dextrose and maltodextrin, wit 27 gr. of protein. Then adjust this(this is a starting place for fat loss) to your needs as your calorie needs go down. Adjust for intensity of workouts. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
	2005/04/23, 07:13 PM rnc you need to know your lean mass...so if you're 10% bf...then you're about (198*0.9)178 lean mass...and you'd follow steps bb1 outlined....178/4=44.5/2=22.5 each between dextrose and maltodextrose and 44.5g protein...
