It is pointless taking a 10oz steak once a day as only a certain amount of that protein will be assimilated at a time. However- small amounts of protein taken frequently- like 4 or 5 times a day will work. The figure they gave for an active person is 2 grammes of protein for each Kilogram of body weight.

But the good news is that if you eat the small amounts of protein throughout the day- Then a good Steak or fish at the end of the day for enjoyment is not going to do any harm. So eat well and enjoy the food.
