Bill...

I follow the protein power recommendation for the minimum amount of protein that you need to conserve lean body mass. For someone who is exercising like you, that would be 0.6 grams of protein for every pound of lean body mass. For me, that works out to about 78 grams of protein a day, but thats a minimum not a maximum. 100-150 grams sounds about right for a man of your size and activity level. My doctor was also amazed at how fast my HgA1C came down...from 11.8 to 5.8 in about 5 months. He also said he's never seen it come down that fast and the first thing he said when I saw him was "What are you doing? I've never seen an HgA1C test come down this fast!". Great news about being off the meds! I am too.
