When I first started going very low carb, I spent a lot of time calculating optimum protein, particularly after reading Phinney and Volek's protein lifestyle recommendations. I realized that the range of protein consumption for me was very forgiving with some of Bikman's and Naiman's recent studies and recommendations making a lot of sense. This WOL only works for me when it's simple. I no longer spend time calculating macros in detail, especially protein. While I try to stay in ketosis and be in fat burning mode most of the time (that's when I feel and perform best), I no longer worry about gluconeogenesis due to protein consumption, as it takes a lot to move me out of fat burning mode. I truly believe protein consumption is very forgiving if you're eating clean and consistently with everything else.
