[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77536545, member: 330042"] The RDA was based on careful research spanning decades, looking at nitrogen balance studies. It's an adequate amount for people that engage in light physical activity. Somebody that's an athlete is going to get more protein simply because they burn more calories in a day, and therefore tend to eat more. The RDA also has a generous safety factor. There have been peoples like the Trobriand Islanders that survived only eating 35 grams of protein per day. Their gut bacteria assist in recycling amino acids in their bodies. So it's possible to survive on less, though not recommend for people living in developed nations. [/QUOTE]
