Most of what I have read has said that our need for protein is incredibly overstated, and most Americans eat way too much. From what I understand, it's fiber that we need to eat more. I guess it goes without saying, but the takeaway is that nutrition is very complex and needs can vary greatly from person to person.
The things i've been reading/listenig too is that we should be replacing simple carbs with paani protiens and fiber. In every case, the people mention that American diets should reduce intake over all and macros is secondary
