Hi Lawrence - I just discovered you yesterday and what you're saying
about working out and protein intake is awesome. I've always wondered
if it was really necessary to be taking hundreds of grams of protein a
day. Is it? I've been working for a while at getting rid of stubborn
fat I've been carrying around for a long time and find it hard to keep
my calories low enough to lose fat and still get 1 gram of protein per
pound of bodyweight. I've lost over 20 pounds and I estimate I'm
somewhere near in the 10-12% bodyfat range. I've managed to maintain
my muscle mass and get slightly stronger during this fat burning
process, but I would like to continue to trim down to single digit
bodyfat and make some more substantial gains in muscle. What would
you recommend?
