Yeah, it's quite worrying. The best I'm seeing is just two eggs, which is about a tenth of the total protein they should probably be eating.

If you're reading thus, the general rule of thumb is 1.8g/kg of lean body mass. Works out as around 4 meals per day of 20-40g of protein each, depending on weight.

Wonderful website! I would like the creator to continue existing for as long as possible.

That's way more than the US RDA, which is 0.8g/kg.

I try to hit 2g/kg when I'm actively training as an athlete, and it's not that easy, and the tradeoffs to diet probably aren't worth it for most people.

You only need that much protein if you're trying to build muscle. The amount needed for a generally healthy diet is much lower.

Lol that is a broscience number that is barely relevant for most people. Where did you learn this?
