I agree. That amount of protein is ridiculous. One of the top researchers in this field, Dr Peter Lemon, stated in a recent review paper that, "the RDA for those engaged in strength training should be about 1.7 - 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass per day". Dr Lemon came to this conclusion after citing several studies which used amounts of protein ranging from 1.3 - 3.3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight.
Dougiefresh states that his BF% is around 15%. Taking away BF not factoring out organs or skeleton we come up with 162 lbs. Individuals use 2g/kg because its easier to figure. This gives us 147g of protein which is more than enough because we are not factoring out organs and skeleton. That roughly equals 25g/ meal.
