The RDA, the recommended dietary allowance for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. So if you do the math on that, so someone who weighs 80 kilograms, they'd be recommending 65 grams of protein. That's enough to not waste away if you were starving on a ship wreck. If you're consuming probably less than 10 to 15 grams of protein in a sitting, you're not getting any of the anabolic benefits of that protein. The liver always takes first dibs on the protein and will undergo gluconeogenesis. And so you have to be kind of above and beyond that.
