10 ounces (280grams) of meat per day "minimal adequate" for
one woman?
I get from Nutrition Analysis Tool at
 http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/~food-lab/nat/mainnat.html
for 10 oz of BEEF;GROUND, EXTRA LEAN, COOKED, BAKED, WELL DONE
for a 25 y old woman:
   Nutri     Total    Rec.   %Rec.
-----------+--------+------+------
  Calories  776.79    2200   35.31%
Protein(g)    85.9      50   171.8%
  Fiber (g)       0      --    --
  Cal (mg)   25.52     800    3.19%
 vitC (mg)       0      60       0%
 Thia (mg)    0.14     1.1   12.73%

That looks like *very* much protein was substituting the lacking
energy of fat or carb.
Missing Vitamins B1,C, Calcium (and B6,E,Folic acid, not listed here)
are in Lynnets case probably supplied by the other items.
Thanks good there are the nuts.

challenge:
Try to find any *paleo* food item (whole thing),
supplying the remaining energy
without already supplying the needed protein.

This seems like a diet which is complete in vitamins and other
essentials since it doesn't create additional cravings
-which had to be measured in calories.
Thanks for that information, Lynnet.
