Do you think 233 g of protein is a lot? I did and so did a few others it seems. People questioning how he calculated that goal.
It might be correct but it's also worth rechecking the number.

I think there's lots of great advice here on the protein angle, so I'll tackle the salt. Chicken salty? So I had to check. A raw chicken breast contains 3% of your daily recommended value. That doesn't seem too bad. Unless you are preparing KFC chicken.
Preparing meats yourself is the easiest way to control the salt intake. Use spices, onion, and garlic to flavour your meats.0 -

I don't always seek ulterior motives. Was just the impression I got. That's why I said that I am not sure if you were being serious.
Sorry for coming to the wrong conclusion.0 -

I hope your not having too many cans a day. I think there are recommendations on how many cans you should eat and it's very low.

Since you do know quite a lot and are pretty awesome, @Merkavar, I'm sure it was completely sincere

Did you include your exercise when setting your activity level when calculating your calorie goals? You should not include it, or your calorie goal will be way off when you log your exercise.0

You do not need that much protein, period.
Even crazy whey-protein-marketing-blinded, broscience-obsessed-body-builders say 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass. So unless you are 3% body fat (hint: you aren't), you don't need 233g of protein a day.
In my opinion, excessive protein intake has become a fad fueled by barbell training becoming more popular and broscience entering everyone's vocabulary. It's now being sustained by the mainstream marketing machine. Nothing wrong with making sure you aren't lacking in protein, but you don't need to center your diet around it unless you are perhaps a world class body-builder juiced to the eyeballs and in need of massive quantities of protein for constant, steroid-driven growth.0 -

Maybe I just spend too much time in the wrong places on the net where people are legitimately rude and abusive so I just assume the same when it's a compliment.

Hmm i would maybe caution people who have been eating excessive amount of tuna everyday. Tuna's a brilliant source of protein with a ton of great benefits but it also contains mercury. Not to the levels that media-scaremongering health b-s that the papers would have you believe, but enough to build to high levels in your system if you eat large quantities of tuna over a prolonged period of time. It's always best to mix it up a bit. Lots of low mercury seafood out there that's equally tasty and full of protein.0

Well see, I am being a bit facetious there, not about you being awesome but regarding the sincerity of the original comment.

I don't actually think you misinterpreted them, this is not the first time they've made an underhanded rude comment at someone for no reason, they did it to me yesterday...0 -
How can any of us answer this question without knowing height,weight, lifestyle or training level? Granted I doubt he is 230lbs to begin with so yes way excessive protein intake but we have NO real information to say too much or too little. Also 200 g is not too difficult if you eat a lot of lean meat or drink double protein shakes. I eat about 10 oz of skinless chicken and 2 protein shakes a day and easily get to 190-202 g of protein before I even get to dinner so I'm curious of how much lean protein he is even putting in his food.0
