I liked the new guidelines given here [1]. However, I disagree with the protein target recommendation. Feels way too much for a normal healthy adult with reasonable activity.

> Protein target: 1.2–1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.

Protein is way underated for overall health that 1.2-1.6g per kg of body weight (0.54-0.73g per pound) seems about right but its mostly directly related to lean mass. Most people don't realize how much they actually need.

There's a lot of misinformation and stereotypes surrounding protein consumption—often portrayed as something only for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.

But for people aging, people looking for strength, folks looking for reducing fat and feeling more full. Protein is extremely helpful
