Leucine is King: (Part 3) How Do You Get the Amount You Need? Whey Plus Leucine

Focus on getting 2.5 to 5 grams of leucine with breakfast, pre-workout and post-workout meals. If you are under 40 years of age shoot for 7.5 grams per day and over 40 shoot for 15 grams per day.

That's alot of leucine. You will get some in your normal diet but we want to be sure you the exact amount required.

Under 40 years old = 7.5 grams or 7500 mg

Over 40 years old = 15 grams or 15,000 mg

If you are drinking Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey (like you should be) it would require some considerable money.

Under 40
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 7.5 grams = 3 scoops
5 lb container would last 26 days.

Breakfast 1 scoop
Pre-Workout 1 scoop
Post-Workout 2 scoops

Over 40
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 15 grams = 6 scoops
5 lb container would last 13 days.

Breakfast 2 scoops
Pre-Workout 2 scoops
Post-Workout 2 scoops

or

Breakfast 1 scoop
Pre-Workout 1 scoop
Post-Workout 2 scoops
2 more anytime of day

Another option is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey and added leucine.
I like the Nutrabio Leucine currently selling for $26.88 for 166 3 gram servings.

Under 40
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 8 grams = 2 scoops + 1 scoop Nutrabio Leucine
5 lb container ON would last 40 days. Nutrabio would last 166 days.

Pre-Workout 1 scoop ON
Post-Workout 1 scoop ON + 1 Nutrabio

Over 40
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 15 grams = 3 scoops + 3 scoops Nutrabio Leucine

Pre-Workout 1 scoop ON + 1 Nutrabio
Post-Workout 2 scoop ON + 2 Nutrabio
