I stumbled across this today and I'm curious as to everyone's opinion.

I have a hunch a lot of people on here eat similar to this already, but I for one can't imagine cutting back my red meat intake to a steak per month, or a slice of chicken per day. I understand where they're coming from with the theory behind but I can't imagine this being an executable proposition in the real world. As a 185lb athletic male will easily eat 3000 calories/day to maintain weight if i'm working out at all, i don't think this food is even calorie dense enough to support an athlete.
So do you think you could sustain your current lifestyle on this diet if followed to a T?

- Nuts - 50g a day
- Beans, chickpeas, lentils and other legumes - 75g a day
- Fish - 28g a day
- Eggs - 13g a day (so one and a bit a week)
- Meat - 14g a day of red meat and 29g a day of chicken
- Carbs - whole grains like bread and rice 232g a day and 50g a day of starchy vegetables
- Dairy - 250g - the equivalent of one glass of milk

So do you think you could sustain your current lifestyle on this diet if followed to a T?
