Hi David.... you asked if you can overeat protein (meat). In a word, yes... IF you are eating beyond satisfying your physical hunger. If you're eating 12 to 15 net grams of vegetables a day, it will be harder to overeat your protein choices. If you're not eating the veggies you will be able to eat more protein (that is NOT a good thing).

The final "test" is... are you losing weight? If you're following the plan and you're losing weight then you're doing okay. If you're not losing, and you feel you might be overeating meat... double check the veggie consumption, get the water in and see if that doesn't naturally reduce your protein intake and spur weight loss.

There are all kinds of opinions and a formulas online for how much protein your body needs. Use that if you need to... I would suggest that you go to ProteinPower.com and read about protein requirements there. Dr Eades has a formula in his book... check out his blog. He's REAL. And he understands this stuff and can explain it in terms everyone can understand. IMHO, he's the "go to" person for anything regarding low carb diets.
