Thanks!! 

Someone said a gram of protein per pound... I think they meant a gram per kilo of body weight.

There is great debate about how much protein your body can process at a time, leading many to say consuming more than about 23 grams in a meal has no benefit as your body can't process it and will just expel it.

Someone said GNC stuff is overpriced. Very true. Plus, their only training of most staff seems to be to train them to lie about products they don't sell and to steer people to the most expensive products in the store. The more expensive stuff is always better, according to their "experts." I base this both off of personal opinion and the opinion of an expert who has a crap ton of body building and power lifting trophies. He does buy some GNC products, but maintains you should disregard anything the staff there tells you.

That same guy once told me when I mentioned an interest in nutrition to read a book by Franco Columbu.

You can google that name - he used to train with Arnold (yeah, that Arnold) - and I believe he has a degree in nutrition. I didn't read the book but read parts of it and I would be hard pressed to name a better resource.
