Not eating any protein?
Doesn't seem so.

If you ate enough to satisfy energy (what you will do anyway)
then with almost any plant, protein needs (RDA) will also be *very* met.
Not so with fruit. I has for 2200 kcal only about 88% protein (RDA).
But RDA has a safety factor of about 2 (double)
over what nitrogen balance tests result in a protein need.

What is a primate diet anyway?
What could you eat with a sharp stick?
How do you get the stick sharp, anyway?
And why should the stick be sharp, anyway?
Would you manage to kill a gazelle or a wild boar, naked with a stick?
How about a stone to crack nutshells?

Primate diet ok.. leaving out precessed foods - ok.
But should one eat turkeys, pigs and cattle
(loaded with hormones,pesticides and grain fed) as a *main* dish
instead of some insects, reptiles or birds?

Small (low) primates live mainly on insects.
Bigger primates live mainly from vegetation and some various things.
They include more filth, seeds and other various things than meat.
Excluding main allergens may cure lupus.
And what could including meat help, then?

And not eating meat means by *no* way eating just fruit.
One of the best protein sources are from plants.
If i sort my database after protein, and leave out all
dried or heavy processed items, i encounter the following:
(protein/100g)
(several dried/smoked fish, cheese and sausages first) then
29 g Pumpkin seed fresh
26.6 wheat germ
.... here in between come some cooked version of meat
25.0 sunflower seed
24.4 flax seed
23.0 peas (but cooked not really on the list)
22.8 chicken breast
22.0 beef cooked (i only have a cooked version)
20.3 lean raw meat of sheep or pork
20.0 sesame fresh
18.0 Almond fresh

Fine.
Maybe not "even though" (she doesn't eat meat) but even "promoted by".
Naked with a stick... and a stick sharpening tool?
and a fire starting set? (in a bag ? :-))
and a stone knife to open a carcass skin?
and a pan? and adding fat from what?


and where would Grog get the fat from, to satisfy hunger?
It's not Grog the caveman, with the fat pig foot.
It's Munch, the industrial, agricultural pig feeder.

What is the real primate diet, naked with a stick?
