enough carbs?

[steven14791]

hi, how much would you say carb intake should be? im 15 and weigh 130lbs, thanks, im also trying to get 70g of protein a day but im having problems, would you reccomend having some chicken with almost every meal? i cant cook fish so this is basically it, thanks

[Boss Man]

Well I estimate your Calorie intake per day should be about 1,800, and eat about 6 times 2.5 hours apart.

So Carb intake could be around 30 grams per meal, 720 calories Carbs a day.

Don't have Chicken as a sole protein source.

If you have trouble cooking, add things like Scrambled Eggs, (1 Yolk a day max, mostly whites), Low Fat Wedge Cheese, (no cooking required), Lean Sliced Turkey and Ham, no cooking required.

Add those and you can vary Protein sources.

so i should be getng bout 180g carbs a day? thanks i will get some turkey and lean ham, also can scarmbled egg be made with just whites? if so how many eggs would you reccomend for the right amount of protein

[Boss Man]

You can scramble Eggs with Whites, but as Yolks contain Vits, Minerals, Protein and Lutein, you can have one, especially for the Lutein, but only one a day, as the LDL Cholesterol is a downside.

ok thanks well say i could have a chicken sandwich for one meal then scrambled egg with something for another and turky for another. thanks

[steven14791]

how many eggs would i need for the scrambled egg to get at least 25g of protein??

[Boss Man]

Well if they're large 8g ones, you're talking roughly 5 Whites and 1 Yolk.

[steven14791]

hm ok, im having trouble getting at least 25-30g of protein and carbs in each meal? got any advice

[Boss Man]

I mentioned something about Protein elsewhere, when you said about the Chicken strips.
