Getting enough is not as easy as it seems unless your eating a LOT of meat and eggs.
But you are giving an example diet that is more typical of a 120 pound person. I'm only 168 currently and I eat more than the quantities you mention above. And I'm sure the average cyclist here eats much more meat per day than the 4.9 ounces meat in your example.
edit.... forgot to add the 1/2 pound of ground beef. So still, I think most people eat more than 12.9 ounces of meat per day. And milk is 8 grams protein per cup. So lets not forget that. I don't drink it daily but I go through a half gallon of milk a week. My wife don't drink whole milk, so I have it all to myself.
