You are quite right, Allison. Thank you so much for the correction. I meant to type kilos but I still think in pounds. My bad.

I repeat - K uses ideal weight for protein allotment. Groves uses current lean body mass for protein allotment. Different amounts, different plans. Both are right for somebody, and not right for everybody. All depends on your protein issues. Although I'm still overweight, I have so much muscle that my lean body mass makes it impossible to use Groves' calculations. Too bloody much protein for me to handle - and not enough fat for my needs. I eat 80% fat a day, and only 10% protein, for example -- as per Dr. K.
