I thought I'd resurrect this thread with this quote from Lyle McDonald because it speaks to the confusion so many people have about the RDA of protein:
Quote:

Contrary to what many dietitians believe, the RDA was never meant to provide protein requirements for active individuals. In fact, the RDA handbook, which is the official guidelines handed down from the government regarding dietary needs, states "No added allowance is made here for the usual stresses encountered in daily living, which can give rise to transient increases in urinary nitrogen output. It is assumed that the subjects of experiments forming the basis for the requirement estimates are usually exposed to the same stresses as the population generally."

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
