The unintended consequences of reducing high quality protein for an aging population or sick population i think is going to be devastating and ultimately if i was a betting woman i would say we're going to have an epidemic of sarcopenia and osteoporosis like we have never seen. The caloric requirement of world-class endurance training may be five to six even eight thousand calories a day so that even if you eat a very low calorie diet or low protein diet that you're still eating a whole lot of protein. High carbohydrate is particularly helpful in exercises where you're really depleting your glycogen stores but most people are not even touching their muscle glycogen stores.
