You guys, no one here knows whether you are eating too much protein or not. Your body knows and you override it with good intentioned fear mongering. Every person's needs will differ. Not only do some people need a fair amount of protein (like more than 2 oz per meal..or some would say 3 oz per day..the famous deck of cards) but some need the high purine protein found in red meat, some fish, etc. Some people need the saturated fat found in animal products. Read everything that Dr. Mary Enig has written. She actually studies this. A lot of what is passed off as nutritional advice is really a philosophy and/or religion with some nuggets of truth and some whoppers of misinformation. No one needs artificial fats and no one needs highly processed or refined carbohydrates. After that, the jury is still out, and a whole lot of the massive health problems we have are caused by people not eating what their, not your, body needs. mg
