Since the typical American eats somewhere around 12-14% protein, going to 30% is a huge win. Dr Naiman has said in interviews the world's obesity crisis would be solved if everyone ate 30% Protein.
But your protein % should be based on where you are now. If you currently eat 30%, and still want to lose more weight, moving up to 40% may help. I now eat more seafood and NF dairy for the micronutrients, so I end up with more lean protein.
That "perfect day" at 59% protein is a crazy high PSMF level, something a body builder may use for show prep, but hard to do that for a week, much less longer. Hard to do without resorting to PP, egg white and chicken breast, too nutrient dense, too satiating, but interesting in theory
Note: The Low Carb Maximise Satiety food list is in my journal. Also note: it is not only the MACROS but the MICROS that provide Satiety, Calcium, Potassium, Selenium, etc. Use this new infographic and you have those nailed as well.
