>Aim for 1.2 to 1.6 times your bodyweight goal in kilograms of protein per day, even if living a sedentary life
Correcting the above, since I don't want to repost because there are replies already:
Aim for 1.2 to 1.6 times your bodyweight goal in kilograms of protein per day in grams (So if your bodyweight goal is 90kg, you'd want that times 1.2-1.6 in protein in grams, so 108 to 144 grams of protein per day in this case.)

>Huh, that explains why I've been having gas problems when I drink
How alcohol is digested in the body is it's own can of worms, but it can be considered the third fuel source for the body in a way. The Body prioritizes using up the energy sources in this order: Alcohol -> Glucose (carbs) -> Ketones (fat). Note that the body prefers the first two only in the sense that it wants to be rid of them as soon as possible, not because it thinks they're so great. So the body will always prioritize getting rid of alcohol first before regular metabolism with glucose or ketones can resume. Once the glucose runs out, the body will switch to ketones. If no fat is being ingested, then the body will start to use up it's own fat stores for the ketones. This way you can water fast for months on your own body fat alone if you're really fat, with the caveat that there will be some muscle loss too. Pic related guy water fasted for 382 days under medical supervision with some added vitamins and yeast extract. As a former alcoholic, I've found that I just don't have the same appetite for alcohol if I'm eating fat and protein only. If I were to get myself drunk on clear alcohol with no sugar content right now, I'd be having a hangover headache the same day before even going to sleep, it would come in a few hours hours after heavy ingestion. It's as if my body is faster at clearing the alcohol away when I eat this way, so I can't even properly enjoy being drunk and pass out and get the hangover the next morning. However, if I binge a few hundred grams of carbs from junk like chocolate or potato chips while sitting on my ass, even without drinking alcohol, then I'm ready to pass out in no time.

>What about people with GERD that are told by doctors not eat anything fatty, sugary, acidic, or spicy?
I only get acid reflux these days if I eat a lot of ice cream. The foaminess of it somehow carries the stomach acid up to my throat. I used to suffer reflux in the past though, back then I cooked every meal myself and had pan fried potatoes, onions, garlic, ground beef in butter almost with every meal, sometimes switching the potatoes for white rice, always with plenty of spices added. I think the garlic and onions were the cause for the reflux somehow, that and they gave me heartburn and the gas too, being FODMAPs as they were. If I eat ground beef and and organic eggs pan fried in butter, with only salt added now, I get only minimal gas, no other digestive issues. If I were to have 20 organic eggs mixed with butter and salt, baked into an omelette of sorts, I'd get no gas at all, so meat seems tougher to digest than eggs for me, the satiety is about the same with both options. If you're going to switch from eating carbs to eating fat, it'll take the body some time to up the bile production to adequate levels to digest all the fat properly. If you've gotten your gallbladder removed for some reason, then you'll produce less bile, but can still manage if you space out to 2 or 3 meals per day instead of a single one.
Generic rant, but: There is no reason I'd ask a doctor nutrition advice these days having experienced what I have firsthand, first thing they'd do is do some blood work and put me on statins to lower my deadly high cholesterol (which is the building block to make testosterone in males by the way). I don't see a reason to debate a
(((historian))) on their 6 million, so I won't debate a
(((doctor))) on their nutrition views either, both are being paid to peddle their cookie cutter narratives to (you), and the doctors are more willing to treat your symptoms than the underlying cause anyway. If I have to get involved with medical in some way, it'll be for life saving trauma care when I'm bleeding out and about to die from blood loss after losing an arm or getting shot, not for fraudulent lifestyle advice and magic pills to consoom for the rest of my life.

>Well you HAVE to eat a certain amount of fat or your body just can't cope and starts coming apart. You could go for a protein diet (both plant and animal) and add in the required fat to avoid rabbit starvation/protein poisoning.
Rabbit starvation is indeed a very real thing, but from my understanding it only occurs when you're forcing your body to use protein for energy through an inefficient process when adequate fat or carbs aren't being ingested. Somehow humans can see success with both carbs+protein (if you're ready to use some supplements for the micronutrients you'll miss) and fat+protein, but as soon as you mix fat and carbs liberally, going 20%protein/40%carbs/40%fat or such, you start to get health issues long term. So ideally you'd choose fat+protein or carbs+protein, limiting your body to use either mainly glucose or mainly fat. (The glucose required by the brain on fat-only diet being produced by the body in the liver, still.)
You could experience rabbit starvation as a carnivore hunter if you were to eat only lean meat for a period of time. One cannot use protein alone as their energy source efficiently for extended periods of time. If I had to go live in a shack in the woods in the middle of nowhere for a year and knew that I wouldn't be catching anything but birds and rabbits, then I'd try to bring along plenty of rendered beef fat to mix with the lean meat in a stew, and some pemmican (rendered beef fat + dried beef jerky flour) as rations to subsist on for times when I can't catch anything. Both of those last almost indefinitely at room temperature.

>Yea, no. I ain't giving up my beans and rice. Doesn't even matter anyways since I can fart silently
Does that make you a
beaner? For a while I did eat 100g of white rice daily in addition to the meat and eggs when weightlifting as a beginner because I bought into the meme that you needed to ingest some carbs to fill your muscle glycogen stores when training hard, as I did some sprinting too. As the lifts were getting heavier, I felt the rice wasn't enough so I bought a few kilos of pure dextrose sugar in powder form and started guzzling that stuff down with water and some electrolyte powder between sets. I started to track the amount of dextrose powder consumed and it was getting to around 100g in a 2-hour lifting session, so 200g of carbs on lift days just for the sake of "recovery". I only did that carb crazed lifting for a few months after lifting with fat and protein alone for about a year, but that carb mania did cause me to stall once several of my joints became non-compliant from too much weight and mediocre form. Chasing heavier weights too aggressively too fast by using carbs as a crutch was a stupid thing in hindsight.
