Another example; a person weighing 50kgs with an average body fat percentage should consume 1650-calories/day. Therefore, this person should consume the following amount of protein and carbohydrates as prescribed in The Anabolic Timing Factor.
- 69.5 grams of protein (278 calories)
- 66.8 grams of carbohydrates (267.2 calories)
- This gives a total of 545.2 calories. (Just slightly under one-third of this person’s 1650 calories/day diet.
However, always remember that the type, quality and timing of the nutrients consumed is far more critical than exact numbers. Don’t get too caught up in calculating exact amounts. When in doubt, error on the side of smaller, frequent meal servings.
So there you have it. The updated, slightly improved ANTF. If followed precisely, the ANTF will ensure that more of your daily calories are directed towards accelerating recovery, building lean muscle and better fat loss over the long-term. The end result of following the ANTF is a bigger, leaner physique that just keeps getting bigger and leaner! As sports nutritional science continues to evolve, I’ll constantly update and refine the ANTF so that athletes can apply the latest, cutting-edge nutritional science to their programs.
