Isnt that how it should be?

You have to understand that this process isn't natural. Trying to gain muscle or lose fat aren't things that we "naturally" do. We are figuring out ways to tailor the look of our bodies.
Optimally, you want to eat enough P and workout hard enough to retain muscle. How much P are you eating before it's "too much?" Maybe it's enough. If you want to really get more P someday, drink protein powder to fill in the gaps. There's no need to force yourself to eat meat.
