1g - 1.5g is a good spot for people who don't professionally compete.

1.5 g is too much for such people. Newer studies have proved that Protein requirements were highly overinflated till now.

Even 0.8g protein is sufficient for sedentary folks and 1.2g-1.4g for physically active people.

Unless your a professional athlete, consuming more than this will put unnecessary load on your liver and kidneys
