The statement that one should limit one's daily protein intake to 2 g/kg body weight sounds reasonable. For me, this would be about 120 g of protein. I don't get anywhere near that: more like 60-70 g per day.

But:

<i>"High-protein diets have surged in popularity in recent years..." </i>

Really? I haven't heard of a diet that recommends that much protein. Unless someone can enlighten me? Is Atkins that high?

*sigh* When are people going to get it? Read my lips: reduced carb is not the same as high protein!
