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. |
I use the example of the cardiologist since it actually happened according to a 2008 book,
Anticancer, by an MD. It is not an imaginary example of what people eat. Also look closely and you will see that in that actual, not imaginary, example of 1.5 pounds of meat, I said 1 pound of protein using the figure of meat being 70% protein. So I did not confuse meat with protein.
Joelr said "-225 gr daily." Daily is not per meal but per day. I eat one meal a day like Buddha did, but it is suggested that people eat like 6- 80 meals a day. Actually that is 8 not 80. So that was an actual mistake. Also all foods have protein (not including man-made foods like jelly beans and gummy bears). Now people eat other things besides meat. For example is a bagel a high protein food? My answer is I do not know how high is high but a bagel has 9 grams of protein in it. The above figure by the ADA that I gave (vegans eat twice the protein) was not just made up. Here is an article by an MD about vegans getting plenty of protein.
Protein in the Vegan Diet -- The Vegetarian Resource Group
In the Anticancer book the MD says here is where the problem is. Americans are brought up to believe that they should have a big piece of meat or
a big piece of tofu with a little vegetables. I added the tofu part. The MD says that Americans need to think lots of vegetables with a little bit of meat (or few toes). That is another mistake. I mean tofu not few toes. It is an easy mistake to make. I am not perfect-- I make steaks.
