Default High protein, low carb, low fat diet?

Roger,

Nine grams of protein for every 20 pounds is more accurate (or 1
gram/kilogram) - for a 160 pounder, that's 72 grams. For the best
info about protein and diet, in my opinion, see
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritio...e/protein.html Americans
typically eat far more protein than they need (me included). Excess
protein puts a burden on the kidneys.
