Hi and thanks,

I calculate my daily protein needs at 60 or 65 (I weigh 125), so I try to get 20 g. at breakfast. My kids both weigh 80 lbs. and is it correct that they need about 1 g. per lb.? They are very active.

Is there a formula to figure out approximately how many complex carbs you need based on age, activity level, and body type? Right now we are getting many of our complex carbs from veggies and limited fruits.

Thanks again!
Janelle
