- ephbit 4y agoWith modern urban lifestyles requiring (for many people) a lot less calories than ancient lifestyles of running around some great plains this is actually a feature to some degree for many people People need to take up protein. If the protein comes with significantly more calories than they burn, they're more likely to gain weight.
- ephbit 4y agoNot sure why this got down voted. Maybe because it can be read as if I were arguing in favor of eating more meat. I am not. I am just pointing out why primitive advice such as "Just replace the meat in your diet with grain" might lead to new problems. People should stop reducing this discussion to the matter of calories. As far as I know people who eat too little protein, overeat on stuff like grains for this very reason. The body wants the protein.
