Protein!

So, I was confused about how much protein I should be taking in everyday.

I realized that I am taking in ...NOT ENOUGH!

I always understood that I needed a recovery meal with protein, so I always took in a bar or a shake right after my workouts, but what I DIDN'T know was that there is a mathematical formula one can use to determine what you should be taking in.

Here it is my readers:

1) Take your weight in lbs and divide it by 2.2 (so now you have your weight in the metric system) (example: 121 lbs / 2.2 =55)

2) Now take that number and multiply it b y 1 - 1.8 depending on your activity level. (1 being active and 1.8 being very active) (example: 55 x 1.2 = 66)

Conclusion: HELLO! I am NOT TAKING IN ENOUGH PROTEIN!

I was always so worried that I would get fat by taking in too much, so I limited myself to one protein drink a day. Now I take two Muscle Milk lights and one Shakeology a day.

Results: I'm leaning out more now :) Woohoo!
