- nradov 4y agoNo the CDC recommendations are based on junk science and fail to account for the latest medical research. Sure you can survive on that much protein, but it's not sufficient for optimal performance. Look at what winning athletes usually eat. https://peterattiamd.com/category/nutritional-biochemistry/protein/ https://peterattiamd.com/category/nutritional-biochemistry/p...
- paulryanrogers 4y agoNot everyone can be an athlete and few people exercise enough to justify the same calorie and protein budgets as athletes.

High protein intake is essential to prevent sarcopenia as we age and our digestive systems become less effective at extracting those nutrients. Please read though the reference I provided above instead of spreading misinformation.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoCan you link to an original source? I couldn't find one following that spammy blog. From what I could find sarcopenia's exact causes aren't fully understood yet. Regardless of the correct quantities protein does not need to come from animal sources. And if we want to live with less suffering and environmental destruction we'll need to reduce reliance on animal protein.
