Hi fastercbr, to add to the 40g per meal recommendation...you can have more than that if you feel you need it, since I'm assuming Larry gave you the MINIMUM listing from his PPLP chart. It's a good idea to spread this all out during the day...carbs and protein "per meal" but you can adjust according to your needs and hunger and activity level. Do you work out? (You said you're active, but I don't want to assume.)

Anyhow, good luck and come back if you have any more questions!
