Default How much protein do I need?

Hi everyone,

I am a seriously stuck tortoise

I've been at about 80 kilos for months and months. My spare tyre tells me I still have a way to go. ( I was a very fit 54 kilos as a youth!)

I have tried all sorts of tweets and adjustments but nothing seems to work.

I think I may be eating too much protein. My latest idea is to cut down on the protein and seriously up the fats. I do eat lots of fats at present by the way.

How much protein in the form of meat and eggs do I need a day to stop my muscles wasting away? I am thinking of trying a week or two on slightly lower protein, higher fat. Has anyone tried this succesfully?

Thanks in advance.

Robert

P.S. I am too much of a coward to try the fat fast.
