Ok so I'm on the glad diet but I'm falling short on the calories needed to build muscle. I eat enough GLs and protein, is it simply a matter of adding more fat, or protein, (or both) to get the calories I need? Watching the saturated fats of course. Can I just add peanut butter, mayo, more eggs, oils and other good fats to my diet?

Mayonnaise very good choice very versatile will meet your fats levels quiet easy also very low sat fat.

So that's it then just add more fat. I think I'm going to enjoy this diet. I tried it once before but I think the whole GL idea went way over my head. I have much more understanding of it now

hi any chance you can help me too? i worked out my protein at around 30g but to get the calories to match up i need to eat 91g carbs per meal is this wrong im 147 lean body mass!

thanks

30 g of protein? That's way too low, unless you're a bodybuilding smurf. If your lean body mass is 147 lbs, that should work out to around 180 g of protein, not 30 g.

He was talking per meal not per day
