Show me the data. Most people I see are eating carb heavy diets and not much protein. Until you track your macros over tme, you have no idea if you're eating enough protein each day
- bunderbunder 11y agoJust wanted to point out here that I'm talking population statistics and you're talking anecdotes. As they say, the plural of anecdotes is not data. That said, if you'd like some data how about the CDC? http://nchstats.com/2010/03/03/adults’-daily-protein-intake-much-more-than-recommended/ http://nchstats.com/2010/03/03/adults’-daily-protein-intake-...
