I'm not convinced we need very much protein. Mentzer went high carb, mod protein, low fat. If I remember correctly he ate less than 100g of protein.

Get your micronutrients in (liver, oysters, egg), get some (ideally gelatinous) meat in, then consume high quality carbohydrates.

He was right.

Interesting. I'll explore further. 👍
