It's also ridiculous. It says a person should eat no more than 2 grams of
protein per kilogram of body weight. At 236 that means I could eat up to 214 grams of protein. That's about twice what I usually eat. At 150 you could eat 136 grams, my average per Fitday is 111, average calories 1807. And from what other people say about what they eat I think I am probably higher in protein consumption than most. I don't think many people eat that high a level of protein.

Maybe these people should sign up for the national weight control registry then, and tell those "researchers" how they lost. I already did. I lost weight on a moderate carb diet (150 grams of carbs, or 25% of calories), but am now maintaining on a low carb diet, which I love, because I like eating fat. i Several have reported that they tried, but gave it up because the questions they had to answer were so strongly slanted against low-carb they couldn't answer and therefore their responses would be discounted.

Yvonne When I did the Protein Power math to figure out how much protein I needed daily to sustain my LBM the number I came up with was 60 grams. That's hardly high protein. brigid |
