Ha! You’re a very understanding wife. 
Can high protein prevent fat adaption?

My family is peppered w/ doctors. I seem to get a different answer for every doctor I ask GNG.
Excellent thread though.

What does 300g of protein look like in actual food…
" 300 grams of protein is a massive amount—equivalent to 35 large eggs , 13 cups of Greek yogurt , or 33 ounces of chicken breast"

Just based on calories, 300 g of protein is only 1200 calories.
If you are eating 93% lean ground beef, that would be 50 ounces of beef, for a total of 2125 calories. If that’s all you are eating, I would say, it is not that much. Now, 80% lean is a different matter. That would be 63 ounces of beef, for a total of 4,410 calories. How that 300 grams of was packaged makes a huge difference.
No matter what, I believe if you eat too much, even if it is keto, you will gain weight. Protein does have an insulin response, so too much protein, if it doesn’t get converted into glucose is still going to result in the secretion of more insulin resulting in more fat storage.
With all that being said, you would probably want to experiment with different amounts of protein and test your blood ketones. That’s the only way you are going to know what effect different amounts of protein have on your body.

I found this interesting paper about the effects of high protein diets on satiety and body fat. I believe high protein was considered about 30% of calories from protein.
Below is the section on Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis
Alteration of gluconeogenesis has been found to contribute to satiety [58]. High-protein and low-carbohydrate diets promote hepatic gluconeogenesis to maintain plasma glucose levels. Two key enzymes of gluconeogenesis, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P), are upregulated in rats fed a high-protein diet, suggesting that gluconeogenesis is stimulated by a high-protein diet [59]. A modulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis and increased glucose homeostasis could be responsible for the satiating effect in this animal model [60]. Veldhorst et al. [61] also report an increase in gluconeogenesis in healthy men in response to a high-protein diet as compared to a normal protein diet. A recent study in humans found an increased gluconeogenesis following high-protein intake but this increase was unrelated to appetite suppression [62]. Instead, the authors observed an increased production of ketone bodies (especially beta-hydroxybutyrate) in response to the high-protein diet. The increased concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate may act as an appetite suppressing substrate [62]. The latter may be most important in contributing to increased satiety, especially if the diet is high in protein and low in CHOs. It is also well established that a decreasing level of blood glucose is an appetite stimulating state whereas amino-acid induced gluconeogenesis acts as appetite suppressant preventing hypoglycemia. Central mechanisms include augmented activation of Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and decreased activation of non-POMC neurons upon acute ingestion of a high-protein diet. Intraduodenal protein can activate vagal afferent fibers and after high-protein ingestion c-Fos expression in neurons of the nucleus of the solitary tract was increased [58].

It is a lot in eggs indeed 
45 normal sized eggs, that’s crazy, I never could go over 14 or something and I was quite fine with only 7 eggs a day for decades, now it’s even less. But with meat or some other items along my eggs? Easy.
300g protein is more like 800g fried lean pork to me. About 2000 kcal if we don’t add anything. Not a huge amount even for OMAD though I would get bored and added eggs and quark to a smaller amount of meat. But I never even ate 300g protein a day, my highest tracked amount was 250g, I just stop there but it’s very easy to eat that much in 2 meals. And it’s massive overeating of protein for me, possibly protein toxicity level… Fat adaption wouldn’t be my problem but I expect my body to make things when it’s needed anyway.
