If a bodybuilder is to eat between 1 amd 2 grams of protein per lb. of body weight
at each meal. What would carb consumption be rated at?
Thanx

You mean how many grams per body weight?

Athletes should eat at least 2 grams carb/lb. body weight per day.

Carbohydrate is the preferred fuel for the body?s muscles and brain. Adequate carbohydrate intake is important in an athlete?s diet. Your carbohydrate needs vary depending upon the type of exercise training you do (endurance vs. strength vs. intermittent), the intensity of, and the time spent doing this exercise. Carbohydrate is the primary preferred fuel (preferred over fat and protein) during high intensity exercise, like sprinting to get to the ball in a soccer match or running the football field for a touch down. Not eating enough carbohydrate daily can also limit your endurance. Once carbohydrate stores (or glycogen) are reduced during endurance exercise, performance decreases and may even need to stop if there is no carbohydrate replacement.

And as MATIZ wrote: "Athletes should eat at least 2 grams carb/lb. body weight per day."

The more you train the more you have to eat.

Because eating before exercise can enhance performance, you should target:

0.5 gram carb/lb body weight 1 hour pre-exercise

1.0 gram carb/lb 2 hours pre-exercise

1.5 gram carb/lb 3 hours pre-exercise

2.0 gram carb/lb 4 hours pre-exercise.

Thanks for the education on carbs. It will be very helpful!!
