So it's really important to get the protein requirements.

I haven't dug into all the nuance of that data.

The way I look at it is...

I think that is a very specific group of a population of people where the high protein intake is critical.

Because if you're in a caloric deficit, you really are battling your body pulling from your muscle reserve.
