> (2g for every 1kg of body weight each day)

This equates to a 300lb male consuming 272g of protein per day. There are 139g of protein in 1lb of chicken breast.

The RDA to prevent deficiency for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. A 300lb male needs about 110g/day at this RDA.
