What's a good ammount of zinc to be taking daily?

My multi-vitamin has 15mg, and don't know if i'm getting it from any other foods. Is this enough?

100mg-150mg is minimal for 200lb male (athlete).....

Wow, that's a lot of Zn
If one takes so much Zn, won't he end up with a Copper deficiency??

Possibly, but the average athlete needs additional Zinc. You probably get additional copper from the 2-4 Multivitamin servings you take each day.
