    I would love to see the peer-reviewed scientific articles that suggest protein requirements at the levels suggested in this thread. Any references?

    This isn't what you asked for, but it is still a good write up http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981

    Even on this site they suggest this:
    STRENGTH training -> 1.4 to 2g per KG bodyweight (about .6 / pound)

    Again, per KG - divide bodyweight in pounds by 2.2... It seems like this thread suggests much MUCH MUCH more protein than this article... I think the better measure may be to use lean body mass - I don't know how much your fat needs protein to build...

    Still I would like to see something a bit more scientific.

    I did - further down they aren't even close to scientific - they are completely anecdotal. Those numbers may be like this thread - but I am looking for something that at least has the semblance of validity. The numbers for "bodybuilding" are something like "do it because I said so." It isn't even an appeal to authority - at least above (the numbers I cited) appeal to a generally accepted number from sports nutritionists. Why these two competing ideals would be off by a factor of two or more is beyond my comprehension.
