But was it both? Or just one or the other? For example, my daily protein intake is about 15-20% of my daily calorie requirements - the same amount as the standard "mouse chow" diet or the standard "Western" diet. I seriously doubt I could ever eat 45% protein. As Gypsybyrd also said, I didn't increase my protein when I went LC. If anything I think I decreased my protein. It's fat that I increased. |
