4. Calculate the calories from protein. For me it's 95 * 4 = 380 and 140 * 4 = 560, respectively.


How did you come up with the latter part..140*4 =560

And also do you calculate Cals and protein off LBM or Total body weight


thanks.

A wee note about the idea of training with "heavy" weights...

Remember to factor in your own LBM when deciding if you are lifting 'heavy' or not. 'Heavy' for the buffest dudes in the gym is going to be different than "heavy" for the average person. If you're a newb to lifting, or if you're a smaller, lighter man, or if you're female, you will be lifting 'heavy' at a lower weight because you'll still be lifting a large amount in proportion to your own amount of muscle.

Someone with 200 lbs lean who lifts 100 is doing the same amount of work, proportionally speaking, as someone with 100 lbs lean who lifts 50. See what I mean?

I personally got great results on 1 g per lb body weight, but I was also lifting 'heavy' for my size and LBM.

Cheers,

Fri

I use total body weight. Ideally you should use LBM. I've just been doing it this way and for me the difference is only 10-some pounds.

So, taking my weight at 185 lbs, which it was Saturday morning:

185 lbs * 0.75 g / (lb * day) = 140 g / day -- (protein)

140 g / day * 4 cal / g = 560 cal / day -- (calories from protein)

Yes indeed. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules here. At least they should not be dispensed over the internet without actually knowing the trainee. I've fumbled around for years figuring out what works better for me and I doubt that I'm done (fumbling around that is). I suppose that an experienced personal trainer will be able to save you lots of time and mistakes by steering you in the right direction right away. What I posted above is what works best for me; I also know that it's worked for other people, but please don't take it as a scripture of any sort.
