I know that I've had trouble eating all the protien recomended in the Protein Power Life Plan book- some days I'm hungrier and eat that much, but other days I'm not and was getting nauseated and ignoring my internal cues by trying to get all that protein in. I almost gave up on Protein Power altogether.

But, when I calculated what my protein needs were based on the mathmatical formulas in the original Protein Power book, I got a much more managable number. Then I realized that the charts in the 2nd book round up the protein needs for almost everybody "to make sure you're getting enough", and that I didn't NEED as much protein as the charts stated.

By going with the smaller number (in my case, 70g per day rather than 110 or so) I've been able to stay on this plan for a year and a half.
