Wow, someone's math is off. 
200 grams is 20% , 1/5 of a kilogram; a kilo is 2.2 pounds. so 200 grams is .44 pounds, 7 ounces. 2 Big Macs, is about that much protein. (4 small patties, cheeses, "special sauce" equals eggs from mayonaisse). And then the calories go off the chart with the included fats. This is the problem with American diets, we do not take the time to do the math...... but 200 is still too much, though typically is the amount of protein many consume in a day. A Double QuarterPounder alone pushes beyond 200.
So eggs with breakfast, a sandwich with meats and cheeses at lunch, a typical US dinner with meat or fish or fowl, 200 even 300 is not out of the question. We are getting fat on overeating everything, not only empty calorie junk foods.

same article, something that may help with NBE:
RapiBust seems to be targeting the proteins to the breast. Let's be mindful of all the factors.
We need to balance our program, our diet and our mental and emotional attitudes. (Well that is a separate subject or thread).
Just for fun
Look up "Cheeburger" and their 'pounder'

Quote:Protein requirements are complicated because the amount we need changes with age.
Infants require about 10 grams a day.
Teenage boys need up to 52 grams a day.
Teenage girls need 46 grams a day.
Adult men need about 56 grams a day.
Adult women need about 46 grams a day.
One important exception is pregnant or lactating women, when the recommended intake rises to 71 grams of protein a day.
Another way to count protein requirements is as a percentage of calories. The USDA's MyPyramid plan suggests that protein make up between 17% to 21% percent of total calories. The Institute of Medicine recommends we get at least 10% and no more than 35% of calories from protein.

Quote:Recent studies suggest that protein makes a meal more satiating, which in turn could help people maintain a healthy weight. Indeed, a 2005 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that increasing protein from 15% to 30% of total calories -- and reducing fat from 35% to 20% of calories -- resulted in sustained weight loss.
