Chapters

So I get a lot of questions about how many grams of protein I eat a day. I'm 192 pounds, so I shoot for about 190 grams of protein, and I try to get that much protein from whole foods. But I also supplement with perfect aminos. A scoop of perfect aminos does not break a fast. That's why I love it. I take it in the morning before I work out and it's equivalent to 29 grams of whey protein will give you all nine of the essential amino acids. Sometimes it's difficult for women to reach their protein equivalent without going over their macros, so perfect aminos is another great way for them to actually reach their protein equivalent and not go over their macros.
