me too, and I am probably one of the older members too.
But on the other hand, we should all be minding our health. One of my favorite quotes.

It is all in your goals and who you ask. If you ask a dietitian they are going to give you one view. their view may be a little closer to this. http://www.meals.com/Meals-Tools/Protein-Calculator.aspx
You ask competitive athletes, sports trainers, sports physicians or folks involved in sports medicine you will get results somewhere along here http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calpro.htm
My take from actual application is that protein consumption outside what a sedentary person consumes is essential for protein synthesis. To put it simple I didnt get stronger or bigger until I upped my protein consumption. [ March 05, 2012, 12:58 PM: Message edited by: N8 ]

looking at my college nutrition text book, I get the following formula to determine the proper protein intake; .8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight so when you convert kilos to pounds and run the numbers you get;
300 pounds divided by 2.2= 136 136X.8= 108 grams of protein.
Too much protein can enlarge your kidneys and may worsen existing kidney conditions. Second, Animal protein can be high in saturated fat and saturated fat is a risk factor for heart problems.
I would love to see what your nutrition teacher or the doctors who wrote that book look like. N8 is on point but I do 1.5 grams of "lean" body mass.

I was looking at some of the pictures from cruises and the one thing that came to my mind is that people are going to come up with a stigma that mustang owners are all fat.
