DM,
feel free to debunk the links provided by Lyle in these articles:

Lots of actual research links.
Basically it boils down to this:
"Sufficed to say that, as is always the case, both sides have their research, both ends of the research can be criticized on some methodological grounds or another and I don’t think researchers are going to stop arguing with one another any time soon."
And yet you make dramatic statements, like saying TE is eating too much protein and that he might be damaging his kidneys, when he's even below 1 g/lb, based on evidence that is anything but conclusive.
Just to be clear, it is your contention that TE should eat less protein and more fat and/or carbs, and this will increase his caloric needs drastically? Or, that micronutrition has a big impact on caloric needs as well? I also assume you handily dismiss the anecdotal stories of countless powerlifters/strongmen/weightlifters/etc with regards to protein needs?
I have no doubt Lyle is amusing at conferences btw, he probably trolls the **** out of all the dieticians.
Obama's long form certificate was clearly photoshopped, I could tell from seeing a lot of shops in my time.
