Hmm, you’re right! And yet, all the sports nutrition that I’ve been reading is 1g per pound, not per kilogram. Sedentary lifestyle vs not, I suppose.

- ancientworldnow 3y agoIt's an error that has been continuously repeated in locker rooms after Americans misunderstood what a kg is.
- sulam 3y agoSorry, but while the meathead stereotype is probably not entirely unfounded, I guarantee that 1) I don't get my information from locker rooms and 2) weightlifters are plenty familiar with what a kilogram is.
- mym1990 3y agoNot sure the sources, but I would not be surprised if it is 1g/lb for athletes, or 1g/lb of lean body mass, as someone mentioned. For the general population, 1g/lb is way too much.
