The reason why folks always harp on the 1g/lb is in case you miss a little - you're still in the green. maximum benefit for natties is shown to be 0.9g/lb, but 1.0g/lb ensures that if you're off by a hair in your macro counting, you still met the max benefit.Standard advice on protein grams needed was 1 gram per body weight desired. You probably remember that. Schwartzeneger did it in his day. But, it makes sense that we don’t need quite that much. I’m sure we just crap out a lot of the excess the body can’t utilize anyhow. .8x of body weight sounds reasonable to me.
FDA nutrition labels aren't as accurate as you think they are btw.
