Help for my girl

[lilsuperman]

My girl wants to know how much protein she should intake along with water... she is trying to trim down...

You need to start back with the basics first:

• age?
• height?
• weight?
• current diet (be as detailed as possible with weights and measures for calories, protein, carbs, fat)
• level of current activity

Understanding her nutritional intake and level of activity are key to changing her physique. Mixing protein and water is only one small part.

Get back with the above information and someone will be able to help you.

Good post Kian, but better yet, have her join & post on the Women's Forum herself & we will take good care of her there....

I heared a guy went into the Women's Forum once and was never seen again.
So I'll have to take your word on that Jen.

Occasionally, just occasionally, we'll allow a few select guys out of our lair...

Get her bodyfat checked....weight is subjective and "losing weight" is not necessarily a good goal.....depending on her level of bodyfat, that may be a better goal....

And by the term "diet" that means what does she eat everyday, what times does she eat & when does she eat in relation to her daily activities like working out?? (this is important)

And what does "gym 3 days a week" entail?? Lifting, cardio only, both??

Roughly, as a guide, she wants to take in 1g of protein for each lb of BW. That is a general amount though.

As for water, she should be drinking about 1 gallon a day. more if you live somewhere really hot, or her activity level is high.

I put together a post with a TON of good threads .... called "Top Threads, Must Read" or something like that. It has a list of sample diets and helpful info.

My wife just replaces dinner with fruit and a 60g protein shake. I know this may get some flak, but she says it works very well.
