Oh that's not average. My MINIMUM is 50g. Bare minimum. I
   usually get between 80g-100g a day but I stopped counting many
   years ago.

   When body building, I'd do 100g-150g but then I was shitting
   rocks and had to start eating two pears with my lunch.

   But as a personal challenge to some of the more extreme
   bodybuilding advice out there, I went on a quest once to lower
   and see if i 'felt' a difference.

   Once I got below 50g a day, I noticed I felt very weak within
   two or three days. Didn't even feel like walking. It sucked.

   Upped it and somewhere around 50g base minimum, I felt just as
   powerful and didn't feel muscle deterioration.*

   But usually I get around 80g-100g a day in any case. I just keep
   the minimum there so I know when I'm in the uh-oh-danger-zone.

   Being a big guy (6' tall, muscular), and knowing the statistics
   for ages/genders, I also know that 50g a day is a safe amount to
   recommend for ANY human of any age or size... except babies - I
   have NO IDEA what babies need. I figure lots of fat but I dunno
   - they're TINY. ah here we go. Looked it up. yeah, ages 7+ - 50g
   is safe. I knew I got it from somewhere. But anything more
   strenuous than typing at a computer, and more is better*tongue
   emoticon Yeah if I was more active, I'd up it to 100g minimum,
   with max of 150g or so for me. I don't wanna wreck my kidneys
   with all the sharp excess unprocessed protein molecules ripping
   through. Gotta keep the filters going*tongue emoticon*Not
   nutritional advice for anyone else - just me. If I have foamy
   piss, I know I'm overdoing it.
