The truth and facts about protein

Protein requirements shouldn't be based on a percentage, but on lean mass.

^^Agree.

Here's a good explanation. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/diet-percentages-part-2.html

This article refers to strength training and endurance athletes, and even still Dr. Lemon does not recommend going over 2g protein per 1kg of body mass. Read my previous response to this.

I stand by my previous statement of : "I do notice that the people who have a problem with this data are bodybuilders, muscle-bulking, or are heavily athletic. This blog was not geared towards those people. The "average" person is who this was geared towards, and is factual. I even had my doctor read the information, and he agrees that for the normal person, the data is sound."

Obviously then, you may need to update your blog to include all demographics, if your just going to say that you stand by what you say . I suspect some of the people your referring to, do actually exercise with varying degrees of intensity and type, no?Maybe they're all couch potato's but somehow I suspect they're not. For protein I suggest you look at some of the papers by Dr Peter Lemon, for starters, doesn't get much better than that and you will not only be helping yourself but the people that read your blog.

The normal weight loss person is not a couch potato, nor are they extreme. A high-end of 30% is perfectly acceptable and safe for the layperson. Most information that I have seen points to potential dangers of a long-term high-protein diet, so I am not going to modify the blog to conform to a few minority to do not subscribe to mainstream facts. I will put a disclaimer that the information contained is for the average person, and anyone who is under a doctor's care should listen to the physician. I won't condone excessive-protein diets because a half a dozen of you feel free to attack the facts. We could get into a p!ss!ng contest all day, but what it boils down to is the typical person can benefit from the facts.

Protein requirements shouldn't be based on a percentage, but on lean mass. I'm sure we would all loike to see these long term high protein diet dangers, actual studies I mean, seriously i don't mean to be rude.

Assuming that this person is under a 2400 calorie per day diet, then the high end of 30% would be 180g of protein. Therefore your Dr. Lemon is actually making the same recommendations that I did in my blog.

Thanks

Is there one peer reviewed study in all of those links are those just articles? I mean, seriously. Bodybuilding.com has a ton of mis-information articles on their main site. Not sure why, but everyone knows this already.

I'll link this article.
