You want to eat protein every day to be efficient at building tissue. By eating every other day you cut ability to build stuff. Yes, the body does not have stores of protein other than your other tissue.
It can decompose for example muscle and other connective tissue (which actually is quite important to be healthy), but it does limit ability to build tissue.
Lesson from bodybuilding crowd is that you need to eat protein with every meal if you are serious about building anything. They want to build muscle but it really extends to all tissues of our body.
Agreeing with this: please track your protein and check it against your weight. You can eat quite a large excess of protein safely, so it's not a hard quota to hit (and if you're having trouble, protein powder is great as a booster in things - I have it with breakfast cereal to give me a morning kick).
Good to know. I'm not interested in building anything. Just not losing things that hurt when I lose them. I'm sure I'm getting some protein as well even on the days when I skip the beef. I just noticed that my joints deteriorate if I'm not somewhat intentional about protein.
