Get at least 300 grams of protein a day because a pig farmer said so. Brilliant.

Because the preponderance of evidence says otherwise.

Ah. Science.

You didn’t even fucking read the abstract of the paper you so knee-jerkingly threw in Rip and Santana’s face.

You're right, the opinion of a pig farmer, who definitely has no ulterior motive, is absolutely more valuable than science.
Why have Santana as a guest (who you talk over the entire time) if you're gonna deny science and make shit up based upon the opinion of a "friend of a friend"?

Because....science....

There is novel evidence that suggests higher protein intakes (>3.0 g/kg/d) may have positive effects on body composition in resistance-trained individuals (i.e., promote loss of fat mass).
Didn’t read the paper. Briefly skimmed the abstract. Not sure if the data supports this, but, if it does, seems like maybe the pig farmer knows more than most.

He's actually not a pig farmer, my child. He's an agricultural scientist working for international agribusiness in Asia, whose job is to make animals grow muscle mass, i.e. pork. His living depends on the success of his feeding programs, and his data set is several tens of millions of animals.
Science.
