Where the numbers come from
The joint advisory Nutritional priorities to support GLP-1 therapy for obesity (American College of Lifestyle Medicine, American Society for Nutrition, Obesity Medicine Association and The Obesity Society) says the recommended daily allowance for protein is 0.8 g per kg a day, and that higher targets such as 1.2 to 1.6 g per kg a day have been proposed during active weight reduction. It also says an absolute target of 80 to 120 g a day may help people stick to it, and that long-term intake at or above 2 g per kg a day should be avoided.
It adds that using actual body weight can overestimate needs for people with obesity, and that no single method is settled. So treat the range as a starting point to talk over with your doctor or dietitian. See sources for the full quotes and link.
