  • weight loss x 5 g
  • management x 7g
  • weight gain x 10 g

Weight loss 72 x 5g = 360g Carbohydrates

Weight gain 72 x 10g = 720g

Weight management 72 x 7g= 504g

 

Protein is measured in body weight measured in the similar way.

Weight management 1.2g x 72kg = 86.4g

Weight or muscle gain 1.7g x 72kg = 122.4g

Weight loss 1.0g x 72kg= 72g
