A member asked:

What do you suggest if i am 6'1 and weigh 250, should i take protein while working out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Target weight 189: Using a BMI calculator your "target weight" is 189lbs, of course it depends also on body type. Eat less calories, and more healthy foods, reduce junk foot intake and don't worry so much about the percent of protein fat carbohydrate and sugar
