Protein
15/f
How many grams of protein should I be getting a day. I swim for about 2 1/2 hours 6days a week. I'm 5'10" and 160 lbs. I don't know if that affects it or not but w/e. haha. Thanks.

Bodyweight does affect the amount of protein one should consume. I personally eat a lot of protein but not as much as most lifters do because in my own experience and research I believe it to be VERY hard for the human body to be deficient in protein. I think if we are all getting in some fish and meat and dairy then we are doing just fine with our protein consumption.
You don't need a whole lot; less than 100- and don't get caught up with grams and calories and all that crap. Wing it.

The average adult should get 60 grams of protein per day so since you're 5'10" that's probably a good amount. If you keep up with the excercising you may need less, but proteins always healthy so I would stick with the 60 grams. I really hope this helped! =)
