Protein (amounts)

[Guest guest]

Perhaps I'm doing some fuzzy thinking this morning ...

 

Someone brought me a present of a protein drink mix containing soy.

(Yes, they know I eat raw. Since it's a Juice Plus+ product, which is

touted to be raw, they thought it would be okay, forgetting, I guess,

that the soy wouldn't be raw.) Anyway, along with saying that I don't

consume soy, I added that I wouldn't drink a protein drink, that

people get too much protein as it is, and most of today's maladies are

caused by an overconsumption of protein.

 

One of the responses back was, " So how much protein is the right amount? "

 

Well, I know the 80-10-10 formula. I don't know how this translates to

grams of protein.

 

In a raw food newsletter received today, it was written " A daily

consumption of twenty to forty grams of protein is appropriate for

most people. Generally, this should make up between 10% to 40% of your

daily calorie intake. "

 

I know that the percentages are too high. I don't know about the grams.

 

So, my response on how much is appropriate should be " ten percent of

daily caloric intake " rather than stated in grams, right?

Well just to butt in here. 80-10-10 is popular with some, and only some, people.

There are many raw foodists and folks into Natural Hygiene who do not espouse

this formula. I notice it seems to work for long timers who do a lot of

athletics though. I know this is just one opinion, but lately it seems on here

as if there is just this one way: the right way, and that anything else is sub

standard. It just ain't so. (and yes, that's an opinion too.) :-) Happy Day

all. Lane

I found this observation interesting, and thought-provoking.
