Andrea> The problem, essentially, is to get enough protein during extended fasting periods

How long is an "extended" fasting period?  When I fast (for religious as well as health reasons), I fast.  Meaning I eat nothing and drink only water.  Although my fasts generally last three days, the body can thrive on fasts up to six weeks or so before running into problems with a lack of protein.
