    There is lots of science out there that shows that protein goals are higher. Glad @galgenstrick posted some. Unfortunately, textbooks are pretty slow to get updated.

    Just like in anything else, blanket statements about how much someone needs is never a good idea. Too many factors such as deficit/maintenance/surplus, activity level along with type of activities... Lots of stuff plays a role.

    I think that everyone is different and there are so many factors that can play in to this. I think that you just really need to play around with your macros and find what works best for you. I'm focused on weight loss, I don't really work out other than walking and right now what works best for me is 50/30/20 fat/protein/carbs.

    So based on all the advice I'm adjusting my macro to 40 carbs 35 protein 25 fats. Thanks guys and gals. I'm going to try this ratio for a few.

    I think you'll do great in those. Don't stress on hitting them exact every day, just as long as you're reasonably close.
