I have seen mostly something in the .4-.8 g/lb range recommended by legitimate sources, the high-end being for serious athletes.
I personally count calories while managing micros and the quality of the food itself. I pay attention to protein but as long as you're eating meat, fish, dairy, nuts, etc. it's not hard to get a good amount through your diet. I worry more about getting too much protein than I do about getting too little.
What 's you impression of what's bad about too much protein? I think I read it turns into glucose, basically I guess fat if you have too many calories overall?
Too much protein in your diet makes your body acidic. Acidic translates to diseases and premature aging. That's why it's very important to have fibre and LOTS of water.
