I think we’ve discovered some information in that Eating to Suffer Plan that may give protein recommendations that are too high.
I’ve checked in with @Coach.Neal.H and we recommend a protein intake of 1-2g/kg of body weight, but that can be a big range, depending on the fitness level of different individuals. For someone who is fit, an intake anywhere in that range would be appropriate, but for someone who is overweight, it would be way too much. In easy to apply terms, 20-30g per meal is a reasonable target for most people, and you can increase or decrease for your specific needs if necessary.
So I’d suspect that you’re getting plenty of protein and do not need to eat extra chicken breast with every meal!
Does that help?
