Ok fellas, I hate to admit this, but I have to swallow my pride and admit that I was wrong when I said that "diet means FUCK ALL" and so I would like to ask for protein guidelines for my fat-loss diet. I plan on eating 1500 cals per day and a minimum of 100 carb grams a day, so my question is, how many protein grams do I need daily? I weigh about a buck 75
Thanks fellas ;) And DK, I should make sure that I get at least 100 carb grams daily, right? If I get 100 carbs grams, and 200 pro grams daily, that will leave me with about 35 fat grams daily. And I agree that the protein should come from food not shakes.
Thanks god you have come to reason.
As much protein as possible, simply aim for maximum 60g of fat, 100g carbs and fill up the rest of the calories left with protein.

Shit DK! You can handle 4 days in a row at 50 grams? After the 3rd day, I'm near catotonic-like lol But I make 3 days in a row at 50, so maybe I will try to work it in my diet schedule.
If carb craving get too bad, i eat a handful of almonds, chew them as long as you can.
HIP HIP HOORAY !!!!!!!!! ;D
Honestly devil, I can handle the hunger on lo carb/lo cal diet, but what I can't handle is the braindead/catatonic feeling it brings to me.

at least 200g, but get most of it from whole foods not just shakes ;)
1 gram per lean pound of bodyweight, or per pound of total bodyweight? Also, wouldn't protein needs go up on a lo-carb diet since carbs have a protein sparing effect?
500g of protein a day , 0 fat, 0 carbs don't brush your teeth

If you plan on eating 1500 calories per day, plan on remaining 175 lbs. But your bodyfat may remain the same or increase.
As far as protein goes, shoot for about 200 grams of protein. Taken over 6 meals, that's rougly 34 grams per meal.
Carbs? Go about 200 grams of carbs. Try six meals: Three regular meals and three shakes, with the third shake to be consumed post-workout (assuming you train late-afternoon/early-evening).
If you eat too little food, your body will munch up your muscle and leave the fat in place.
Ok, so how about calorie cycling? For example, 3 days at 1500 cals, and the next 2 days at 2500 cals, as an example. I know that I'm gonna catch alot heat for this, but back in the day I did the cybergenics thing, and that diet they planned out was actually somewhat effective, 3 days with calories at BMR, and then 4 days with calories at BMR*2 FYI, BMR=lean bodyweight in kilos times 24Christ,you`re overanalyzing things in a big way.

Just do it..... and be consistant as hell.
