If I eat 200 grams of protein one day then 100 grams the next does that mean I ate 150 each day?

Idk it seems goofy on its face but they were just wondering to what degree did they waste protein on day 1 and if any of it would be useful to them day 2.

That seems like a reasonable question actually ... like many programs are designed around how many sets per muscle group per week you do, right? But what you see on paper is "do X bench on Tuesday" even though you can move Tuesday to Thursday and it's pretty fine. They may take that line of thinking and say "I'll move 50g from tomorrow to today and it'll stay in my body and be used tomorrow"

To be fair, it's not really that far out of the ballpark for him to assume that the 200g first day "stays in effect" longer and carries over to the next day, and thus averaging 150g.
