>That’s an unnecessary amount of protein for people who aren’t weight training or maintaining a large amount of muscle
Recommendations for sedentary (that is, people without much exercise) adults are about 0.75g/kg
I'd agree 2g/kg is high, but 1g/kg is pretty much a basic need if you're doing any kind of exercise a few times per week and want muscle for anything - from hiking, to recreational sports, ability to move things around your house safely etc.. And if you're not, you need to start doing it, and then up your protein intake!
