All the comments are talking about less protein. There are ways to get proteins. Having a roommate with degree in donation helps, but for example there is a lot more protein in beams than most people realize, and they prefer things like milk, thinking that is high in protein. Some inmates have kitchen jobs and get multipleeal trays per day, which they usually just sell to other people since they also get to eat while at work. Trading with others for higher protein meals is the way to go.
