Just add Patchouli.

In all seriousness, it sounds like a healthy daily intake to me. I'm assuming you eat supplements and vitamins also, it doesn't sound like enough protein intake. Thats double the intake of protein in a day? Shocking

I bought it from my local co-op, and I bought it whilst wearing my Black Witchery shirt.

No, I don't do supplements or vitamins. I don't see any big wholes in my diet, so I don't see the need.

The USA's Fed. Govt. recommends 50 grams/protein a day. A gram of protein of pure protein is equal to four calories, so I got ~424 of my DV/calories from protein, or ~19% of my total calorie intake for that day.

I've heard it stated one should shoot for 1 gram of protein per pound of their ideal weight; I've heard it stated that this should cap out at 140 grams of protein as anything in excess of that is hard on the body; I've heard it stated that one should try to divide their daily calories by equal parts carbohydrates, (healthy) fats, and protein..... if you've got information from a reputable source to help clarify, that'd be great. As is I'm happy treading the middle path.

I have a very similar diet to yourself, but I use omega 3 and a multi vitamin for added benefits. I'd recommend the omega 3 it helps with burning calories by improving your metabolic breakdown and also adds muscle mass. I also notice a difference in the health of my skin and hair.

Interesting , I assumed from your diet it didn't have as much protein as you described, it seems you are diligent enough to know so, good on you. I try to stay away from the whites like everyone else to curb my carb intake, not alot of rice/white breads/pastas. Seems like your on the right path, so I don't generally have any critiques although the omega 3 has been a great resource for me personally.
