Hi, I’ve just gotten into lifting and eating right. I’ve been searching for the answer to this question all day but I haven’t been able to find it.
How I figure out how many calories are in X amount of a certain type of meat, and how do I figure out how many grams of protein are in an X amount of meat.
I’m sure this has been answered many times, but I’ve searched tens of pages of google results and used the T-Nation search program too but I hadn’t found anything.
I searched using key words such as meat protein value/calories value, how much protein is in meat, etc.
Could someone please direct me in the right direction?
If you really want to learn more, a key thing to look into is what kind of food to eat when.
Typically, whole-grains and complex carbs are the way to go throughout the day, but after you workout if trying to add muscle, simple carbs are the way to go.
It’s a combination of what to eat as well as when to eat it.
For a good source of info, check out The New Rules of Lifting (For Men).
Has a lot of decent material in terms of both how to lift when combined with a balanced diet, it breaks down what kind of foods you should opt for, has equations on roughly how many cals you should eat a day, and so on.
