its a lot more than protein

how many calories do you eat when you eat less than 1g/lb?

calories>protein for muscles, as the links i provided states

hitting a plateau and then eating more protein and getting past it doesnt mean its better, science says that excessive protein intake oxidates, but yeah, i guess you're unique

we got a saying in swedish that would literally translate to that the exception validates the rule - there's probably an english version of it - and you might be that one, i don't oppose it, just saiyng that the protein intake you say that you should have is, according to science, bullshit

99% of broscience is placebo

Recent research shows that the RDA doesn't appear to meet the needs of exercising adults. One of the top researchers in this field, Dr Peter Lemon, stated in a recent review paper that, "the RDA for those engaged in strength training should be about 1.7 - 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass per day". Dr Lemon came to this conclusion after citing several studies (Fern, 1991, Tarnopolsky et al., 1992) which used amounts of protein ranging from 1.3 - 3.3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight.

1.7-1.8 is still 0.85-0.9, you're recommending 1-1.5

thats also the study of ELITE bodybuilders, iirc?

studies also shows that anything above that oxidates

Your original post suggested the daily recommended amount for a sedentary adult who wants to maintain the current base of muscle they have. So you're average joe . Now someone who works their muscles 6-7 days a week the protein intake needs to be much much more logically.
