K&W old people food lol. It’s ok. Most of the food is cold and the roll was hard as a rock so me and mom switched for garlic bread and dad switched for cornbread. My dad’s hamburger steak was practically raw so he had to switch it out too. I’m not huge on K&W but it’s better than most things. Personally I wanted McDonalds Hotcakes and Sausage.
 
Some type of bow tie pasta with meat sauce the grocery lady brought over. Kind of tasted like spaghetti and sauce. Also some hot cheesy bread. Banana and yogurt for dessert.
 
A balanced meal after the probably fake Numer One reminded me yesterday of my dietary excesses. :ROFLMAO: I was out of Hungarian paprika and had to resort to sprinkling Japanese chili peppers on the eggs. The yellow fruit is a kaki.

 
Needs protein
Let's count protein content.

2 eggs = 12g
fish = 11 g
12 avo = 1.5 g
----------------
24.5 g

Also had:

1 heaping tablespoon flax seed meal = 2 g
1 heaping tablespoon wheat germs = 3 g
One cup V8 = 2 g
-------------------------------
7 g

24.5 +7 =31.5


That's 31.5 g protein or more than 1/3 of the 80 g I require on an inactive day. There's no narrow metabolic window for protein. More protein is coming. I haven't noticed any muscular atrophy. ;)


Protein requirements:

Average person (couch potato): 0.75 g /kg lean body mass (not gross weight)
Average person (some physical activity): around 1 g/kg lean body mass
Bodybuilder, strength athlete: up to 2 g /kg lean body mass
Person with CKD: no more than 0.5 g /kg lean body mass - more protein results in toxicity buildup due to insufficient clearance of protein by the kidneys aka proteinuria.

For example, an average 200 lbs person with 20% body fat has a lean body weight of 160 lbs and requires about 55 g of protein per day. Depending on the level of physical activity and the desire to grow contractile tissue the protein requirements go up.
