Ok this is mind boggling and I'm trying to add it up and do the math.
3.5 ounces is not a lot of protein to begin with. Hell I've been known to eat a 12 oz steak for dinner. If I do your calculation I get less than 1 ounce of protein for someone that may weigh 200 lbs. Am I missing something?
.036 x 200 = 7.2 grams, which equals .25 ounces.. ?
Just wondering if I'm missing something from your post.
For myself I will say eating 3-8 oz a day of bnls sknls chicken breast or grilled shrimp, certain fish, or lean beef steak is good. But that's just for me..
