    Eating 76 kilograms of protein seems slightly excessive, would change my body drastically no doubt. /s

      They might be referencing the rough math for daily protein consumption. It works out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for men and half a gram per pound for women.

      Or they could be a bat

          On US nutritional labels fats, carbs, and proteins are listed in grams, but we generally measure everything in pounds.

          When calculating your macro nutrition for weight gain the general recommendation comes out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. This is just a coincidence, but makes finding out how much protein you need to gain muscle mass pretty easy if you know how much you weigh and given that all of our labels have that info in grams.
