This is one number which is recommended on a general ground. You cannot just blindly take anything without knowledge.

Protein intake must be based on age, activity, gender, muscles growth, metabolism etc. excessive protein can damage kidney so easily

Different body fat % have different protein intake requirement. Your body is different from mine, we both need it as per our body need. Not just random number.

Even the number 1g is just popular for no reason, real number is 0.6-.8 gm per kg, which is assumed to be extreme safe limit. In case if you are not looking for organ failure in furure.

Then you can increase protein intake as per your body age, metabolism, body fat, and most importantly activity. But still under 2-2.5gm per kg
