This is the second time this has come up in the past couple of days. I have asked before, and was ignored, so I'll try again in this thread (since it seems active). Does anyone have any research / anything solid beyond anecdotal evidence for 1g/lb of lean bodymass? I have lots of meathead friends that drink those damn whey protein shakes like it is their job, but I think they taste like horse snot. And while I have the money to buy the 10 chickens and two cows a day that this would seem to require, if one of the good folks on here could give me something real, I would throw extra sacrifice on the fires for you to my heathen gods.

I don't eat anywhere NEAR what i'm supposed to eat by that calculation (my estimation: 1/3 of that). I'm a pretty large-muscled fella, and it seems to me that I would be having some serious problems if I have a protein intake that was that insufficient.

If I WASN'T getting enough protein, what would my symptoms be? If I WAS getting the perfect amount (I.E. matched perfectly to whatever the limiting reagent in this equation is), how would I know it versus an imperfect amount?
