Drs. Eades (Protein Power) and their former partner Ron Rosedale used/use
enough protein to support lean body mass (LBM), not body weight.  I've seen
the latter term mentioned several times of late; maybe that's what was
meant?  At any rate, using only enough protein for LBM prevents too much
protein which can impede fat loss (gluconeogenesis).  Up your activity
level?  Up protein accordingly.  Ron's protein formula considers both LBM
and activity level to calculate how much protein needed each day.  No, I
don't have it in my personal files (sorry).  Dietary fat IS the body's
preferred energy source and, unlike protein, cannot be converted to glucose.
  Protein's role is supporting and repairing muscle mass, etc., not fueling
the engine.
