they likely defined "enough" as maintenance level for average american: overweight and low active.
To maintain healthy weight in long term with office job, person needs to actively exercise, and supply body with nutrition to exercise. Otherwise, methabolism will slow down, and likely overall health degradation will be observed.
> with more satiating foods
correct, and high protein food has high satiety index.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoThis seems like quite a stretch. 1. Daily protein intake for someone is directed by their body today, not what their body might be in the future nor what their body could be. 2. Daily protein intake isn't based on tiny hypertrophic optimizations even for athletes, so it's weird to double down that this would apply to average people. Here's a morsel from your own study: > However, even a 100 kg athlete can satisfy his/her daily protein requirements by consuming ~30 g of protein at each meal, which aligns with the per meal recommendations of 0.24–0.30 g/kg 0.24-0.30g/kg (0.11-0.14g/lb) is quite below 1.6g/kg (0.725g/lb). Don't you have to bite the bullet here?
