However, like eating in general, protein frequency is important.
In dieting a lot of people up their protein as a fail-safe. They are calorie restricted so frequent and higher amounts of protein help them maintain muscle while losing fat.
200-225 grams of protein isn't all that much actually. Its only 800-900 calories of your total caloric intake.
I lose weight at 3500-4000 calories a day.

still...excess protein creates pathways for fat storage...which usually ends up in the abdominal region.
