Yeah...(you don't need the physique, if you are doing the workout you are using the protein) I don't disagree with that at all.
think your friend got that one completely wrong, it should be 1 gram of protein for one kilogram (not a pound) of you body weight... At least that's what I found quoted many times in health and fitness mags...
Thats according to basic health guides. Weight lifters and such are in fact taught 1g/pound. 1g/kg is a standard for sedendary people.
