49 randomized controlled trials and nearly 2,000 subjects later, researchers at McMaster University found your muscles stop responding to protein at 0.73 grams per pound of bodyweight per day, not the one gram per pound that gym culture has been preaching for decades. For a 180-pound person, that gap means eating roughly 47 extra pounds of protein per year with zero additional muscle to show for it. The one-gram standard was never backed by dose-response data, it just got laundered through bodybuilding forums and supplement marketing until everyone forgot to ask where it came from.
