re: The importance of 200g of protein/day.

I don't see many options with a ratio better than 10 to 1, calories to protein (2000 calories- 200g protein). So if your eating 2500 and hitting 250g with room to spare, I'm curious how you are doing it. Unless it's a carnivore/keto diet and your are eating tons of meat. More power to you if so. That would just jack my stomach up..

Meat isn’t going to do that. Eating processed garbage that you think is ‘healthy’ would do that. It’s really not hard to get to 250 grams if eating real Whole Foods and throwing in a shake or two.

250g of protein is 1000 calories. That’s exactly 40% of your intake leaving 60% (the majority) for carbs and fats. It’s really not that hard to hit 250.
As for as 200g, it’s just an easy benchmark. Unless you’re Shaq big, no one is losing muscle mass eating 200g a day. But, if you want to be exact, it’s more a function of desired body weight than just a hard 200g rule. You can get similar results with less as long as it’s right for your goals.

I’m not doing carnivore or keto. Four ounces of lean ground turkey has 120 calories and 26 grams of protein. I made turkey burgers post-workout today.
Just take the leanest proteins there are and switch them up with a bunch of different recipes. Super easy to hit 250 grams a day with carbs and fats too.
