This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.
DEXA scan update relevant to protein intake:
Scanned at months 0, 6, and 12. Here are the body comp numbers:
| Baseline | Month 6 | Month 12 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total mass | 246 lbs | 221 lbs | 213 lbs |
| Fat mass | 116 lbs | 66 lbs | 48 lbs |
| Lean mass | 154 lbs | 153 lbs | 150 lbs |
| Body fat % | 39% | 33% | 22% |
Lean mass preserved — actually GAINED 1-2 lbs thanks to progressive overload + 1.4g/kg protein. The protein intake discussion needs to include body comp data, not just scale weight.

I disagree that testing history is decisive. It tells you what a supplier did when they were being watched. Continuity of behaviour under stress — a late shipment, a failed test, a complaint — is more predictive than any run of good results.
