azquilter92 82 Posted January 12, 2013 I cant see why that would be the case,if so why would the drs. Tell us to get 40-60 grams per day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigmachik 403 Posted January 12, 2013 She means in one sitting. You can still get way more than that per day, you just have to break it up. Get 20 grams now, 20 more grams in a few hours, 20 more grams a few hours after that etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
