Where these numbers come from
Roughly 0.8 g/kg is the minimum to avoid deficiency, not the amount that serves an active adult. Reviews of protein and body composition support 1.6 g/kg as a practical target while dieting, with benefits levelling off around 2.2 g/kg for people training hard in a deficit.
If you have kidney disease or are pregnant, these general ranges may not apply to you — talk to a doctor or dietitian first.
