I dont like the Low carb high fat, or High Protein No carb thing. Its stupid. Its not a lifestyle change that most people would be able to maintain with our lifestyles and pocket depth ;-) Moderation for me is key. Train 4 days a week. High'ish protein with moderate carbs. For me, 4 meals a day work ok, and i still enjoy living. Food is good...it must be enjoyed...why deprive yourself because of a ever-changing theory by one man. Anyway...general rule of the intake comes from my gymming days. Body weight x 2 to 2.5 = Protein intake. For me, thats 85 x 2 = 170 grams per day. Your body generally will only be able to process between 20 - 30grams of protein at a time. To put that into perspective...a can of tuna is about 25 grams of protein. An egg is around 6grams of protein Carb intake is less obviously, and I work on Body weight x 1.5. If i need to drop some extra weight, i lessen the carb intake. Our bodies CAN handle carbs. Its amount and type of carbs that hurt us. You dont need fat burners...ive used them...and its not a good long term solution. Train more and and try as much as possible to stay away from junk food, processed foods, and McDonalds !!
