No not offended, could have done without the fyi but I know how it is typing it sounds worse to the recipient than in your own head sometimes. I do want to clarify something though. I'm not trying to trick or mislead anyone with misdirected data or withholding it, (which is how I feel this is coming off), I really do think that based on all available data, that the 30-40 g range is well used by women's bodies. I say that because yes, I do think that 30-40 g protein at one sitting is what is going to do the most benefit for the most people with the least amount of effort, particularly given that we are dealing with light eaters. Thus, I shorthand that down to 30 g but it's not because I'm trying to just get people to chill out, it's because I want them to get an adequate amount of nutrient intake without being stuffed and miserable and gaining weight and ending up giving up on the diet.

It's the 80-20 rule. You get 80% of the results with 20% of the effort, and to get the remaining 20% of results, you must expend 80% of the effort. For the most part, people universally can use that amount of protein at once. Yes, there's way more to it than that, and yes, it's much more complicated and it has to do with the type of protein and the exercise the people do and their body makeup and their digestive systems and blah blah blah, and so a bodybuilder or hardcore Paleo person may want to eat more than that, but setting all that aside 30-40 g is an amount of protein that is universally agreed upon to be easily digestible by all. I can't give advice designed for serious weight trainers to women 95% of whom weigh under 130 lbs and have never worked out. They are not gonna be able to eat that much, their bodies aren't going to be able to use most of it (even if technically they may possibly use more than 30 g or whatevs because they digest slower etc etc etc), most of them cannot afford to eat more meat than that anyway, and they're not gonna have enough room for carbs and fat if they're gorging themselves on it. Protein even if one eats a billion grams a day, doesn't make boys. Protein + carbs + animal fat makes boys and we also want to do all this without feeling stuffed and miserable and gaining weight (because 8 out of 10 pink swayers will go off diet immediately if they gain weight. 30-40 g guideline for 3 meals a day + 2-5 snacks with some protein in them is going to be just dandy for a blue sway and that is very much along the lines of what most of us ate when we got our boys.

So that is a long winded way of saying what I have said in the HE Diet since the beginning: 3 meals a day of 30-40 g protein plus 2-5 snacks containing protein, protein+ carbs at every meal and snack.
