Jim,

Do you know what the absolute maximum proportion of protein a human
diet can consist of before rabbit starvation occurs?  I eat the
fattiest cuts of meat I can find but I'm never sure if they are good
enough.  I get hungry quite soon after meals (even large ones)- I don't
suspect I'm eating too much protein but it's a possibility.  I know
what protein toxicity feels like- I misguidedly ate nothing but lean
meat for a long (unpleasant) time.
