How many grams in a pound of protein (supplemental shake)? I'm 200lbs, so how long will a 5lb jug o' whey last me if I take the 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of weight?

Bretto, I hope you plan on getting some protein OUTSIDE of the shakes...as in natural food sources!!!

Most 5 pound jugs have a total of around 70 servings (look at the label). So, if you take them 2-3 times per day, that should last you about a month.
