I was wondering about that too. I just ordered his book but haven't received it yet. I've been averaging 60 gms of protein a day which comes to around 15% of my diet. There sure are a lot of opinions about how much protein is the correct amount but nothing seems definitive so I am tying to just relax about it and eat what feels right to me.
