Macro partitioning

There is no single 'appropriate' amount for all protein sources; each source (red meat, poultry, fish, etc.) has a unique non-linear relationship with hypertension risk, requiring source-specific quantity windows.

Don't just focus on hitting a total protein number. Pay attention to what kind of protein you are eating. Some sources like red meat and poultry may increase risk if eaten in excess, while others like legumes and eggs may offer protection. A balanced mix of moderate amounts from various sources is key.
