Getting the average omnivore down to the recommended 6-8 ounces of meat per day would make a tremendous difference on its own. I really didn’t know how much excess protein I was consuming until I made some vegan and vegetarian friends.
Woah 200g of meat a day is well sufficient… That is basically my max amount since I pretty much only have meat at dinner and that’s more than a chicken breast which is the most amount of meat I’d consume at one time. I do consume quite a bit of dairy though (used to be cheese, but now for dieting reasons it’s quark yogurts, milk, etc) and a few eggs, need that protein.
But the rest is all legumes, veggies, nuts, cereals, good carbs, etc. I’d struggle to eat more meat than that even when I didn’t give a shit about my diet I think, but now that I do I also cut out all the non lean stuff so that does play a role.

Isn’t the recommended amount a lot lower than 6-8 ounces? It’s like 500g or 5 ounces per week.
