[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 170618, member: 38594"] I looked at some diet (MATADOR intermittent diet) and for my body weight of about 160lb, I have to consume about 160 grams protein per day. Naive me always thought that means just 160 grams of meat. Checking the nutritional value info for chicken, beef, and fish: all are about 25% protein by weight so I have to eat 160/0.25 = 640 grams (1.4 lb) of meat every day to get 160 grams of protein. That is an insane amount of meat per day. Do people actually eat that much of meat? If half of the protein (80 grams) is supplemented by a high-protein powder, that would require about 100 grams of powder daily so in 30 days I would consume about 3kg (6.6lb) protein powder. Again this amount is quite shockingly high! [/QUOTE]
