About to turn 19, been Paleo since November 2011. Any questions I'd be more than happy to help, glad more young people are on board.

My son would love to connect with you guys. He is 17 and is primal. I will try to set him up with password and user name soon so he can come on here and chat. I know he does have a question....He is looking at protien powder for post workout. I am not liking what is in those protien powder stuff at Wally world. (walmart)

Most of the family is on board. I am totally onboard. Hubby/his dad is about 70% on board. My other son is only about 60% on board and my daugther is screaming 10% but we are still working on her. Just need to get grandma to understand she can't eat this way.

We had some good sources of protein powder posted on here on my recent thread

I have question for you, as teenagers we tend to need a little more calories than our older fellows.
I'm especially talking bout young men. Any young man out there, approximatively how much calories do you seem to be eating daily ?
Thank you very much, I know it's kind of a very individual thing.

An online calculator tells me my maintenance is 2850, that sounds about right. During weight loss ate consistently ate 2250. A few times I went to the extreme of 1700-1800 calories a day and I was told by trainers and doctors that as a young male I needed to stay at 2000 just to retain overall health and well being. I lost about 7 pounds the week I did that. Unfortunately I lost some hard earned muscle too. I weight 157 pounds now and would like to gain some muscle. My daily caloric intake is about 2400-2650 a day
