***For the average-sized person, PROTEIN
should account for ABOUT 20 to 30 grams protein
per meal, THREE meals
per day MINIMUM. Some people may require as much
as 46 grams best protein per meal, so consider this tip: FORGET
CALORIES,
grams and strict portion control.
Start with a satisfying
amount of BEST protein and GOOD fat, then add
carbs,
starting with "most favorable" carbs, which are needed for acid/alkline
balance. OR use the "eye-ball" approach: one fist for protein,
two fists (or more) for "most favorable carbs" and one fist (or less,
depending on needs) for "favorable" and "unfavorable" carbs - TOGETHER.
(Groups
that benefit from
higher amounts of the more easily digested protein
include athletes in certain stages of
training, the seriously ill or malnourished,
pregnant and lactating moms, and
those of us with "insulin/blood sugar imbalances": i.e. most of us).
