    I wonder what he actually meant. 1g/kg maybe? That would be 125% of the RDA, which I don’t know if it’s a good idea but it’s certainly more reasonable than…that.

      A common, reasonably evidence based, protein target for bodybuilding is 1-2 g/kg, with the cursed unit of 1g/lb being about the upper limit of what’s useful. That’s probably what this post is referencing.
