i gotta go along with kevsworld on this one. .75-1 gr per lb of bodyweight is plenty in my own experience and its a hell of a lot cheaper than scarfing down endless steaks, chicken, tuna and shakes. for the most part i think the ultra high protein intake ideas were perpetrated by the BBing mags and supplement companies. not saying it wont work, obviously it can but is it neccessary? is it the high protein intake that's responsible for the gains or is it just the overall calorie increase that goes along with it? Even Lou Ferrigno scoffed at the ultra high pr intake recommendations floating around and Ellington Darden has put plenty of muscle on guys with a mere 10-15% of their diets coming from protein.

oh and our bodies are not made of mostly protein, they are made of mostly water. i forget exactly but its something like 75-80% i think.
