[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t. Because it not optimal and is inflammatory. Plant proteins are better sources. It’s a personal choice, though, I don’t care if others want to.[/quote]

The volume of food you must eat to get 145g of protein ([b]which is the amount recommended for someone my age, height, and weight) [/b]on a plant based diet is too much. I can’t eat that much. It’s easier to hit recommended protein goals with lean meats.[/quote]

Americans are obsessed with protein. They’re not one with cholesterol or heart health, unfortunately.

You weigh 362.5 pounds???

.36 g per pound of body weight, possibly more (but research is not conclusive) for people over 70

Easy to do with grain and beans. You do not have to eat 20 pounds of broccoli. [/quote]

No, it’s recommended 1g per pound of body weight.[/quote]

Maybe your personal trainer says that? Nobody else:

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is a modest 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. The RDA is the amount of a nutrient you need to meet your basic nutritional requirements. In a sense, it's the minimum amount you need to keep from getting sick — not the specific amount you are supposed to eat every day.

If you're an average adult.
The recommended dietary allowance to prevent deficiency for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. For example, a person who weighs 165 pounds, or 75 kilograms, should consume 60 grams of protein per day.(a kilo is about 2.2 pounds)

Even athletes often get more protein than they need without supplements because their calorie requirements are higher. With more food comes more protein.

Most adults need between 0.8 and 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight, or 10% to 35% of total daily calories, says Yasi Ansari, RDN, senior dietitian with UCLA Health.

However, according to the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), both men and women ages 20 and over were taking in much more than the recommended amount of protein. The recommended daily amount of protein is 46 grams for women and 56 grams for men. The NHANES results showed that men were taking in 101.9 grams and women were taking in 70.1 grams. Protein intake contributes to calorie intake: therefore, if you eat more protein than is needed, your overall calorie intake could be greater and potentially lead to weight gain.

To meet the functional needs such as promoting skeletal-muscle protein accretion and physical strength, dietary intake of 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6 g protein per kg BW per day is recommended for individuals with minimal, moderate, and intense physical activity, respectively.
