4 eggs is only 24g of protein

150g is 600 cal, which is only 30% of your daily calorie budget. If it works for you why not?

The importance of weight training for aging is being emphasized. Protein is needed for muscle growth.

I’d get a second opinion.

It’s roots are actually in a small work of German nutritionists about 200 yrs ago, which erroneously believed “flesh makes flesh”, they British industrialists and armed forces organizers picked up to improve output during Boer war and in their factories. Flawed research, but so it is. It seems to have been reinforced by the discovery of kwashiorkor.
Regardless, it’s been used again and again to broadcast the wrong nutritional message.

The lamestream media darling

Because your body needs it just as much as everything else you listed. Yet not many people are actually getting the amount they need. Every single cell in your body is made up of protein. It supports everything from cell repair and muscle growth to hormone balance and weight management.

Does this mean there isn’t a push for people to eat leafy greens? Of course not. Everyone knows they need to eat that. I just think protein was the forgotten child, until recently.

FTR it’s pretty easy to get 100 grams of protein per day, especially if you eat chicken, fish, chickpeas and lentils.

I have heard it all... gotta eat that FILLING FIBER!!!

PROTEIN!!!

SATIATING FATS!!!

I'm currently losing weight eating a high-carb diet and counting calories.

No everything in this post is incorrect.

Like most diets, some things work better for some people than others.

I’m the type of person who functions best when I get at least 100g of protein a day, most of it from animal sources.

So I’m happy people pushed for it, or else I’d still be trying to survive off legume and whole grains.

Who or what company started this push for all of us to search out "protein"? Not leafy greens, not healthy oils, not low glycemic foods, but protein. Why?
