obviously there are a ton of other factors that come in to play but in general i have to agree with the op, I think people do go overboard on protein and some people do not get enough. I see the reasoning behind the people who get to much...When i was younger and i was a hard gainer I thought i was never getting enough protein. I would always think its better to be a little over then a little below and not make gains. I think everyone needs to figure out what works best for them no one is the same.
