@the.living.room.pod: The official protein recommendation hasn't changed in decades. And according to Dr. Stuart Phillips, it probably should have. The number most people have heard is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That's still the recommended dietary allowance today, in the United States, in Canada, and in most countries around the world. The problem is that Dr. Phillips and other researchers have been making the case against that number for twenty-five to thirty years. Their argument: it's too low. And the people most affected by that gap aren't necessarily the young or the athletic. It's older adults. As Dr. Phillips explains, the evidence supporting higher protein intakes (at around 1.2-1.6g/kg) has been building for a long time. The official guidance just hasn't caught up. If you've been hitting the RDA and assuming that's enough, it might be worth taking a closer look.
