This cardiologogist turned down a 1 and a half pounf of steak since she was watching her cholesterol in another post of mine. That is 1 pound of protein right there or 450 grams. Joel Fuhrman, MD says that Americans eat 5 times the protein that they need. American Dietetic Association says that vegans eat twice the protein that they need.

You can picture a 1 and half pound of steak right? What if the menu said a 672 gram steak? Would you have any idea of what that is? They are the same. So 225 sounds like a lot more than a half a pound.
Most people eat an 8 ounces steak when they go out to eat. There for 225 grams of MEAT is what most people eat, which is half a pound, and does NOT sound like more than half a pound, because IT'S NOT. And even then, only 67 grams of that steak is actually protein. 672 gram steak is still ONLY 200 grams of protein. I think you are mistaking grams of meat with grams of protien, where you are incredibly wrong in doing so. If you can't tell the difference between the two, then why are you debating the subject?

What else you got? And why do you keep bringing up that cardiologist. Eating a 22 ounce steak is TOUGH. It's not something people would do every day. They can eat that one day, and not eat the same for a week or more. There for it's not 22 ounce steaks EVERY DAY. Very bad argument on your part there.
