The 30g protein per meal myth — looking for input

Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then…

Agreed on the substance. I would put less weight on the timescale, because two months of anything is not enough to distinguish a trend from a wobble.

Happy to go further on any of that.

True, and anyone with reduced kidney function needs that target set by a clinician rather than a forum.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

I read this differently from Dr.RheumBOS, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. No action needed from anybody.
