They want us to eat 101 grams, or .54g per pound. Speak mitt ze English?

Then they switch to cups of protein and ounces of protein, then back to grams of protein.

I don't see the word "lean" anywhere. Older folks at risk of fatty liver, cholesterol. Eggs and cheese might not be the best recommendation for them. And are we still advised to keep red meat on the light side?
