A 16oz steak is over 50% protein, or over double your entire daily target. Hamburger count could be right, if you are eating McDonald's burgers or similar. But then you are not following the guidelines, with far too much processed grains and added sugars.

Your beef is with wiki or facts :

"high scores: braised eye-of-round steak 40.62; broiled t-bone steak (porterhouse) 32.11; grilled lean steak 31.0 " numbers are grams per hundred grams or wiki also reports 25% as the average, thus your factor of 2 error in weight (400 instead of 200).

  • For some more perspective:

    Cranberry's & nut mix - 34g (total) have 8g of protein

    1 cup of milk - roughly 8g of protein

    This is a pretty light breakfast of 16g of protein. How about a 'big, bold breakfast':

    2 eggs - 12 g of protein

    4 bacon strips - 12 g of protein

    1 cup of hash browns - 3 g of protein

    (other carbs pancakes etc going to have < 1g of protein)

    So in the 'big, bold breakfast' => 27 g of proteins, I would be 3g behind my daily, average protein intake for the morning.

    2 hamburgers for lunch, that's 30g of protein, keeping me close to my daily, average protein intake for lunch.

    8 oz steak for dinner, thats 56g of protein.

    In total: 27+30+56 = 112g of protein, just 4 g over needed daily, average intake of protein.

    Resisting the sarcasm, this is not reasonable.
