Meeting a protein target on a suppressed appetite — one year on — setting out what I have, and where I think it stops being reliable.

Asking about Meeting a protein target directly, because I have read four threads on it and each answered a slightly different question.

The version I want answered is the narrow one: given the method stated below, is the result within what anyone else has seen? I am not asking what it means yet.

Method, numbers and the two assumptions I am aware of making are below. If the assumptions are wrong that is more useful to me than agreement.

Published guidance on protein during weight loss is reasonably consistent and is easy to find, which makes this one of the better-evidenced practical questions here.

I would rather be precise about what I do not know than vague about what I do.

Where intake has fallen a long way, protein is usually the first thing to fall because it is the least appealing macronutrient when appetite is reduced.

A target that is not being met is worth adjusting downward to something achievable rather than being missed indefinitely.

Worth saying I have only my own numbers here, and n is small.

Fibre and fluid tend to fall alongside protein when intake drops, and the constipation reported here follows from that as much as from the mechanism.
