[QUOTE="Saul, post: 94517, member: 16541"] Looking at this another way, the 1.6 g/kg/day of protein would put me at about 150 grams of protein per day. In today's world not that easy (seem like we are carb heavy today), but when I was growing up, we ate much more meat (like meat / eggs with every meal, jerky/nuts snacks). So for me I am about 6' 4" and 210 lbs right now. Assume I need 2500 calories per day. At 4 calories per gram of protein, I would get 600 calories from the protein out of my 2500 calories per day. That is about 25% of my calories from protein. That seems very reasonable. Throw in some carbs, veggies and oils for the other 75% and it seems balanced or at least not overloaded on protein. I have not ready any of the studies or care one way or the other, but 25% of my calories from protein seems reasonable for a balanced diet. I could see it range upward or downward but I like to look at in relation to my total food consumption [/QUOTE]
