Thank you Owen for that info.
I found a website that gives a list of foods with their lysine contents.
http://www.digitalnaturopath.com/data/Lysine_Arginine_Food_List.htmlI made up a spresdsheet with a list of foods for a few different diets (Atkins, 80/10/10, Paleo). I included the lysine contents since I found this website. I noticed that for the high protein Atkins diet the lysine contents for a 1400cal diet was about 4300mg of lysine. However for the high carb diet (80/10/10) the lysine contents was only about 1300mg for a 1200Cal diet. I was afraid that if Pauling assumed that standard diet was a high meat diet, therefore, containing close to 4000mg of lysine, and then suggested 6000mg as a suplement then this is a total of 10,000mg. If someone was to start a high carb diet with 1300mg lysine and added 6000mg to it then they would only have 7300mg, a little short.
Since Pauling assumed only 1000-2000mg (in your link) Pauling was conservative and everyone taking 6000mg as a suplement will receive at least 7000-8000mg, which is what he intended.
Thanks again.
