I do have problems consuming enough protein. I've been off of the calorie counting wagon for a while, but when I was tracking daily consumption I had a very hard time just getting 50g of protein daily. Granted, I was not attempting to go low-carb at that time, I was trying to do more of a "Zone" 40/30/30 split. Just doing an offhand estimate, I think I can safely say I'm at least 30% body fat (my tanita usually says anything from 32-37% depending on dehydration). At 155 lbs, this means I've got ~110lbs of non-fat body mass, so I should be getting about 110g protein? Yeah, that's gonna be hard to adjust to.
