Who's recommendation? I've seen recommendations all over the map. The ones I often see are somewhere between .6g and 1g per lb of body weight, with 1g being the most common recommended on body building forums. This article (http://mennohenselmans.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/ http://mennohenselmans.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-...) calls the 1g/lb recommendation a total myth. Another important question is whether the ratio is against total or lean body weight? If you've got a lot of fat, you may be over-calculating your protein needs. Eating too much protein may or may not hurt. Some say excess protein taxes the kidneys (which filter it out into your piss). Some say your body ends up converting it to fat.
