Quick Question On DC Training

[Tom Treutlein]

Well, it's more towards his diet and those who have followed it. He recommends 2x bodyweight in protein, then satisfy hunger the rest of the way and not counting those excess calories and such. Just count protein. Anyway, it makes sense to me to use 2x your LBM as the number, and not your total weight. After all, why feed the fat. Did anyone else use their LBM on his program? It makes more sense to me, but I might be wrong.

One last bump...

Won't really make much difference: you're sweating over 20-30g of protein at the most?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Well, over time the amount saved could add up, and I'm probably about 177 normal, 152 lean. About 14%, I'm estimating. This would let me get away with a good deal less calories and protein.

 

[EL GAUCHO]

Well I always use my total body weight: I think most people do.

I work with DC and I just do 2x my bw. Just keep it simple
