"science" as people say, only works with information it has gathered. Studies are all fine and dandy, but the lack of studies doesn't prove anything either. All it shows is that nobody has devised a way to conduct an objective study on that, taking in all the variables. If that makes any sense.
The ACSM recommends 1.8- 2.2g of P for every KG of bodyweight. Or 12-15% of your caloric intake. That is for Athletes, not the average joe. The RDA is actually more like 8% or lower. Spatts has it right though, unless you are on juice, your body does not use that much protien. Perhaps 1g per lb of LBM IS right.. I see no reason to go higher than 1gram per LB of bodyweight, those that go 2X are just wasting protien.
