The world is upside down. It’s not disordered to track what goes into your body. It’s disordered to eat mindlessly as many many American do.
No you are incorrect. We are without counting for millennia.
Yeah back in the good old days when life expectancy was 37 years and we cured disease by bloodletting.
Not our problem that you are ocd and have an eating disorder.
And you are a nasty person and kind of an idiot.

Whataboutism when you have no logical argument.

Yes, US society in 2024 is exactly like it was for all of millennia. There have been no changes to our daily activity and food sources in that time.
Indeed eating habits were healthier for most of our past.

Ha! Nope the nasty and crazy are those that count. And what idiotic argument about living less in the past. Your grandma is likely to live or have lived longer than you.

You don't have time measure protein in grams. Just eat it. Are you afraid if getting too much or too little
I have trouble getting enough protein. Tracking is the only way I found works for me not to lose muscle. Sarcopenia is new. I think over time I'll be able to eyeball but not experienced enough yet.
you only have trouble because you highly restrict how many calories you eat in a day, to your detriment, so you are trying to hack eating enough nutrients to live when you will not let yourself eat enough. Eating a chicken breast and an avocado a day would give you enough protein, but nope, you can't spare that many calories just for "protein" when you also need to sneak in "fiber", there isn't enough room!
Ding ding ding. And if you aren’t getting enough calories, all the protein in the world isn’t going to save you from losing muscle and bone at a fast rate.

Agree. All the middle aged 125 lb women on here saying they “need” 100+ grams of protein are misguided. If you are eating a balanced diet that includes dairy/meat, get enough calories, and aren’t training to be a body builder, you are getting enough protein
Actually we aren’t getting enough to stave off sarcopenia and muscle loss and bone density loss in old age. That’s what the purpose is. We see our parents becoming wheelchair bound due to hip fractures and falls and I do not want that for myself. Many doctors who specialize in this area of study agree that women’s hormones in middle age are working against them, why wouldn’t we do what we can to keep our bodies mobile?
Women still don't need 100 grams of protein for bone health.
The studies show 1.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight will maintain bone density. In my case that is about 60 grams of protein.
Yeah…sorry it is part of aging. Go ahead and eat 100 grams of protein and you will still lose muscle and bone density with age. You can help slow the process somewhat by eating enough protein AND calories, but it is an inevitable part of aging and your body deteriorating. Enough is subjective but for most middle aged women of heathy weight, enough is somewhere in 50-70 grams. Eating 100+ grams isn’t going to give you better longevity

I love chili with a small amount of lean beef and lots of beans…multiple kinds.
I eat Greek yogurt everyday.
Snack on apples and peanut butter.

If she feels good on 100g then why not? Her body is telling her 100g is working for her. Middle aged women have big jobs and multiple kids and may skip a meal now and then, if you lift, that’s tough on the body, so an extra boost here and there should be ok. Everybody is different. When I did IF with about 40g protein I would get sick constantly, and I would sleep a lot. 80-100g puts me in a state of mental clarity and 7hr zzz is more than enough.
Sometime your body tells you things feel good that are not, in the long run, good for you. Surely this is not new news.
IF itself is bunk so I can’t help you there.
So as a mammal who evolved from monkeys, I am supposed to not listen to my biological instincts and listen to some person on the internet. Got it!
Back to biology class for you.
