Protein is essential to life, but try not to go overboard on animal proteins. Here is the best diet advice I was given – eat real food, mostly plants, and not to much.

Especially since you are an advocate of an alkalizing diet. Are you not concerned about the harmful effects excessive animal protein can cause such as kidney damage and osteoporosis? Now I'm not saying you derive the majority of your protein intake from animal sources, but I will venture to say that you consume a more than adequate amount. You of all people know that humans only need about 5-10% of caloric intake from protein. Do you subscribe to the popular trend, partly propagated by fitness media, that a highly physical individual must consume at least their body weight per pound in protein? Or is there real truth behind this? Much of animal food is acidic in nature, isn't it? Some more than others. Fish and whey are on the lower end of the acidic spectrum. Is not excessive protein counterproductive in maintaining a balances acid/alkaline environment as well as sustaining a proper bone-building environment? Do you consume the majority of your protein from whey, nuts, legumes, and vegetables? Please educate me. Brian K Mark,

I could happily scarf a NY every night, and most nights I do. Other times it's jerky or grass fed ground beef from my friend's ranch. A lot of almonds, too. That's a great list of protein amounts. Sometimes I think I should eat more chicken, but I'd have to buy the organic kind since I react badly to that sugar/chemical stuff they inject into most poultry and pork, and beef has more protein and calories anyhow. Does anyone who visits this site ever check out nutritiondata.com? They have an interesting blog on there about statins and that new report. But the main thing is that you can build a virtual pantry and then let their software analyze your micro- and macro- nutrients. It would get tedious if done often; I'm at the point where I know how to feed myself. But it's nice for a "spot check" once in a while, since my diet is regularly [slowly] "evolving" (like Grok!) and it's good to write down what I eat in a day once in awhile get a check-up on how it's all adding up.
