I am pretty darn sure that beans are a carb on BFL (check out page 83 in BFL book). I have basically the same diet as you and started BFL last week and have...

Hi - As I search the stores for acceptable BFL protein sources (no meat) I find myself asking a couple of questions 1) How many grams of protein should I be...

Thanks for the great answer on the amount of protein, Richard. Do you have any info on the carb-to-protein ratio (I note the myplex bars are about 2:1 so I've...
In the BFL book, I think that Bill says that the ratio should be 40:40:20 (carbs:protein:good fat). I have no idea why EAS doesn't always follow their own...

Hi Rhonda... ( and others) I find the soy isolate is only nice if I make it up and refrigerate it. I then have it the next day when its icy cold. Otherwise It...
