Okay, but it doesn't address the issue of having a whole meal with barely any protein.

That’s begging the question, you have to first establish the need for protein at every meal. And I’m not even going to begin to address that digression.

  • There is basically no downsides to eating too much protein and there are a lot of potential problems if you eat too little.

    Of course, you can carefully design other meals to be more protein-heavy, just because of your weird idea of a having an (almost)no-protein meal.

    But it is much easier to make it a habit to include at least one high protein food in every meal.

    • So there’s a kind of filter in your kidneys that handles protein. Over a lifetime that gets worn out. Once it is perforated by too much protein, or if there was a problem with it, very bad things start to happen.

      Having too much protein, especially the amount pushed by certain industries here in the United States, is maybe not healthy, no.
