This book caught my attention since I have been under the care of both an endocrinologist and a nutritionist for the last year and a half.  I am supposed to consume a minimum of 65 grams of protein a day, preferably 80 to 90.This e-book is poorly written.  "As you exercise, the body burns protein and energy."  No, the body CONVERTS carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy.  "Today, there are more and more vegetarians that are coming to the surface, or turning away from meat completely."  Poor drowning vegetarians!  And isn't the definition of vegetarian not eating meat?  "Chicken breast is the most popular poultry in the world."  No, CHICKENS are the most popular poultry in the world.I question including mushrooms as a high-protein food.  2.5 grams of protein in 100 grams of mushrooms is pretty negligible.  Certainly mushrooms have other nutritional benefits, but we're on the topic of protein.The author also included squirrel, horse steak (which, though technically legal following the lifting of a five-year ban last November, is unavailable since there are no facilities for slaughtering horses for human consumption in the United States), beaver, and caribou.  I don't have a problem with eating those things, but I don't think I'm going to find them down at the grocery store.The Meat/Dairy/Egg section jumps around from muscle protein (where she neglects to mention protein count for beef heart) to milk, back to muscle protein then to eggs (where to my disappointment she perpetuates the myth that eating egg yolks is bad for you) to cottage cheese and aged cheese, back to muscle protein and ends with...wait for it...VEGGIE BURGER.  Not one mention of pork anywhere.On to the Fish section.  Protein counts are not listed for halibut, swordfish, cod, tuna, plaice, crab, carp, or herring.  Salmon is not mentioned.  Of plaice she writes, "It is endangered in being overfished in America."  Not only is the sentence poorly constructed, but she is misinformed.  A brief search on the internet shows it as being overexploited nearly everywhere, including the UK and Canada.
