High Protein one day, Low Protein the next?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am still in the process of getting a full CRON menu together.

Mostly I have been trying CRON foods and recipes to figure out what I

like and don't like. However, now I am at the stage were I want to

put together a CRON menu for a week and try to stick to that menu. I

would like to pose a question to the group regarding nutrients.

What I have discovered is that some nutrients are easy to get and

others more difficult (like calcium and Zinc). So instead of trying

to develop a perfectly balanced meal for a day I decided it might be

easier to achieve this goals if I started looking at it from the

weekly standpoint and not just by the day.

So here is the question. Let's say for my protein intake, it's 150%

RDA for three days and the other 4 days it's 63% RDA. For a week

that would come out to be roughly 700%. Would that work or are there

other issues around absorbtion that I don't realize. Also would this

approach work for all nutrients or just some, or none at all?

Thanks,

Bob
