There was a few times I went fully raw for up to 30-days and my strength dipped and my " core " heat dropped and I needed to wear sweaters when I normally did not. I still use nutritional yeast daily and you can get all the " weight_lifters " needs taken care of with that. http://wiliweld.com/yeast/ -- " Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

The standard is 4 Tb. Furthermore, going by weight, and comparing it with the nutrition information from Lewis Labs Brewer's Yeast, it seems the panel you display is for a mere 1 Tb. However, it's possible nutritional yeast is more fluffy than brewer's yeast, and hence could weigh less per volume. Anyway, thought you might like to compare it with their nutritiona panel and decide whether you agree some adjustments in your information may be indicated: http://www.lewis-labs.com/products/facts/BY-supplement-facts.htm Hope this helps, -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
