What should I aim for in protein mixed in w/ my carb meals on low and high day.

Approx. 1.5G per lb BW but you can have more like it. I know it says in the article that eat your protein, veggies and if your still hungry have more protein.

My problem is I've been waayyy too stuck on portion counting and macro calculation...I know exactly how much protein is in every portion of meat I consume/amount of cottage cheese I put in/how much comes from the oats, grains or legums I put in, etc. This whole concept of carb cycling and eating as much protein as you want is like a dietary revelation...don't calories matter at all in carb cycling? I feel it working, and I've experienced no drop in strength or energy, but the fact that I can eat 7 or 8 ounces of chicken as opposed to the regular 5 and not worry about macros and excess protein adding up is disturbing me...

Peace.

I was the same way. Before carb cycling, I was a count freak. It took me a while to get used to not weighing anything. I actually do still weigh my protein, but if I am still hungry I eat a lil more and not worry about it. Obviosuly calories do come in to play but if you are eatting protein til satisfied and not stuffing yourself you should be fine. Besides with the carb meals, you should not want to eat as much protein.
