Maybe this wasn't the focus of your article, but how do you know if your consuming enough protein for muscle growth? I understand that an equation is a little simplistic, and you can't be a slave to counting, but it seems like you could have a middle ground where you monitor important fuel like protein and carbs. I tend to be ok with less calories, but I tend to not eat as much protein. It can be tough for me to get160-180 grams of protein in without tracking it. Don't your muscles need a certain amount protein period to develop?
You don’t need protein every day for muscle growth. That’s a HUGE lie. Going to do a post on that soon. It’s a narrative deliberately fabricated so you keep buying protein shakes. Always follow the money.
I assume it's most beneficial for recovery after a workout? Do you think the general target of 0.8-1.0 g of protein/lb of bodyweight is wrong (even if not consumed everyday)? I am open to the idea of the general science being wrong or at least too simplistic, but I also don't know how you figure out a better method.
Move away from metrics into your intuition. If you’re truly aligned with yourself, you’ll crave meat naturally when your body needs it and you won’t crave it when you don’t need it. Everything we’re told is based on static assumptions that have no bearing on reality.

Sure I could see not consuming it everyday.
