Re: Balanced Diet
I know what you were saying AE and I still disagree. A normal person should try to eat heathy food but not be too concerned with how much proteins and carbohydrates they are taking and in what proportion ( which is what the questioner asked).
Btw AE do you have any credible links that show that taking protein helps reduce weight?
Arshad, a "normal" person looking to increase muscle mass needs to eat lots of protein this a known fact among nutritionists.
Also for a person looking to reduce weight shouldnt be comsuming too many carbs.
It is also a fact that a high protein diet burns fat. I am sure you can google "benefits of eating a high protein diet" or simply pick up a book or even ask a nutrionist. I am sure you will find that being concerned about how much protein you consume and how many carbs you eat isnt limited to athletes alone. :)
