:-) I like it! Fat Power! Yeah! Wouldn't be a big seller though. :-)

I would be interested in the Eades' info too. I've been keeping track of the
macronutrient proportions of the various diets that have been mentioned in
Cordain's book and here, to help in trying to keep them straight and reduce
the confusion from the many diets (and because people tout them to me or ask
me about them), and Protein Power is one I don't have the data for. Any
missing or incorrect data that people can fill in would be helpful.
