This is grossly irresponsible. I am pleased to see most of the comments here realize that. -Muscle tone requires more protein. -Protein consumption is one of the very best ways to sate hunger, thereby reducing consumption of fat and carbohydrates. -It takes more work for the body to convert amino acids to glucose and ATP, so the by the time it finishes your 'net calorie' is less than actually consumed. -Unused protein is often excreted rather than stored in adipose cells (fat). In short, protein is good for you. Both animal and plant protein. And while your minimum functions don't require all that much, you should probably be eating more. Poor conducted correlation studies don't change that.
