    As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.

    450g of beef/chicken per day (if you eat 3x a day thats 150g per meal)

    As someone who needs to lose weight

    consider low carb, its highly effective and can prioritize protein at the same time.

        Fair, I myself only eat once a day, so there is a ton a variability out there. Most people probably eat 6-8 times per day (breakfast, snack, drink, snack, lunch, etc)… but 3 a day seems to be the commonly accepted “normal” pattern

          Breakfast - 2 eggs == 12g protein

          Lunch - pbj == 7g protein

          Dinner - chicken breast == 31g protein

          It seems to me my typical day is 50-60g protein, which is way lower than any recommendation 🙁

          While I have no pretensions to being “typical”, if I get half the recommended protein in a day, yeah I have a problem believing the claim that most people get too much

            Oh yeah. Totally agree. Most people have a huge protein problem. Hence the widespread B12 deficiency problems.
