Stage 1: Protein

I looked back in my blog and noted that I already posted the list of acceptable proteins back in June, so I don’t need to retype that all now.But the list is posted below. The goal is to get 12oz of lean or very lean protein each day from meat. Of course I also get some more protein from snacks and shakes, so the 12oz is really the minimum. In actuality, I should be getting 150 grams of protein, 150 grams of carbs and 30-50 grams of fat in my diet each day. The different stages fo 20/20 basically just add in sources for the protein, fat and carbohydrates. Additionally there is a goal of 25-40 grams of fiber per day.
