1. POWERFUL PROTEIN ENER(G)Y = A good ENER(G)Y portion is about the size of your palm.
• A good ENER(G)Y range is about 15 to 25 grams per serving for women and 20 to 30 grams per serving for men. This can be a lot more during the post workout window.
• If you aren’t working out consistently, then these should be a little lower.
• You should be shooting for 0.6 to 1.5 (lower for maintaining and higher for gaining) grams of protein per pound of LEAN body weight. An estimate is fine. Don’t get caught up in the details.
2. COLORFUL CARBS ENER(G)Y = A good ENER(G)Y portion is about the size of your fist.

3. FIERY FATS = A good ENER(G)Y portion is the size of the end of your two thumbs together.
